So "Humility" means I must reject the study? I don't believe so.
The fact is, others have made testable claims about the power of prayer. Studies have been proven showing a tentative benefit to intercessory prayer. Nobody complained about those studies.
Now a bigger study, meant to address deficiencies in the other studies, shows no benefit. They're testing the very TESTABLE idea that intercessory prayer has benefit to those being prayed for.
Of course, if you believe the wrong type of people were praying, then you're free to fund and conduct your OWN study using the right people - as long as your standards are rigorous and reproducible, you'd become quite famous, I imagine.
It's not a great pleasure when folks put their words in my fingers.
I didn't ask that you reject the study.
Do whatever the sam hill you want with the study! Sheesh!
I even suggested it was useful in showing what might not work.
Given your . . . reading of my post . . . I think I'll keep my own counsel about your reading and interpretation of the study.
I'm more than a little underwhelmed, however.
