Let us pray for those scientists! And let them know we are praying for them.

I guess the knowledge that someone is actually praying over me makes the patient feel - "Hell! Is it that bad that they gotta pray for me!!" And then... LOL!

text after text lumps physicians with thieves, fowlers, washermen, cobblers, harlots and eunuchs

Sounds like they are talking about my physician ;)

I am sure that Deepak Chopra would have something to say to these people. After all, he has helped many people get cured of cancer simply by using visualisation tactics. Which shows the power of the mind. As Anil Menon says, who prayed for them? "Intercessory prayer itself had no effect on complication-free recovery from CABG." Does complication-free recovery need any prayer? How did they know there wouldn't be complications? -Here, you lot, you're not going to have any complications, so you're not gonna get prayed for."- Or did they pray for complications and not get any? This is muddling. There obviously are some scientists whom Santa Claus did NOT visit when they were children. NO:r did they get an A in English.

Vivek: Agreed. And there's always the factor of who's doing the praying. My exam prayers were rarely answered; it seems hiccuping during a prayer nullifies it. The folks from St. Paul's church, the Teresian Carmelites and Silent Unity who prayed for these patients are the real shady variables. Hope they aren't praying for world peace.

A - I think this is a seriously flawed theory. The scientists have not factored in the critical Prayers-Against component so the variable used should actually be Net-prayers-for. Moreover, Awareness the other factor is well known to be a fuzzy variable, (esp. after the third drink) with an unlisted membership function.
