Too EASY!

First, the 'prayed' group had improvement in only 6 of 26 conditions. In many they fared WORSE than the control group!

Second, there is no evidence that the 'control' group did not pray for themselves or had relatives praying for themselves. It is highly likely that there was no substatial difference in the amount of prayer for either group.

Third, This experiment has not been repeated. Isn't that a requirement for your accepting a hypothesis? That it be repeated?

Fourth, Numerous studies have been done which refute the Byrd study.

Thank you.

Good. Now, did you read that yourself, or did you rely on other commentators, and researchers, who provided an analysis with which you agreed?

Thanks for being honest about this, WT.
