Unholy junk science
Drudge has this story up…which I don’t think it’s worth making much out of: Study fails to show healing power of prayer…
There are so many variables that could be in play when it comes to a patient’s recovery–such as their previous health history (incl. their genetics to some extent) that it’s not really possible to say that prayer works for some but not others. I think that this study is just another volley fired in this silly junk science debate.
