Science Cannot Test Religion
In the largest study of its kind, researchers found that having people pray for heart bypass surgery patients had no effect on their recovery. In fact, patients who knew they were being prayed for had a slightly higher rate of complications.Hmmm - more proof that science is better than religion? Consider
James 1:6 - But let him ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.Any study of this sort is based on a certain dubiousness in the mind of those conducting the study. Thus even the Christian would insist that the prayer would not work because it does not meet the standard of prayer without doubt. Thus science can never test religion because science demands doubt.
Simply put, God will not be subject to our understanding, if He was, He would not be God.
