    Just let him be. The "virgin rainforests" comment is his "gotcha!" remark. We can't handle that kind of truth!

    What is a conservative scientist? One that prays on how to interpret the data?

    Too bad all of these scientists are liberals and too biased to agree with. What a weird coincidence that they just so happen to disagree with you too...

    You are all about science until some nut job MAN says the "feel" like a woman. Then you ignore the science that clearly indicates that the person has an X and Y chromosome (therefore they are a man) and you ignore the clear observation that they are a man just because the mentally ill person says they feel like a woman.

    It's interesting how stupid you really can be sometimes.

    What the fuck are you talking about?

    I'm pretty sure Chris' follow up addressed this post appropriately

    backpedal much?

    the "stereotype" you called a conservative scientist is complete with the (mocking) of "one who prays"

    is more "gotcha" because it is unsubstantiated. a favorite of yours to use here and marginalize people of faith.

    how do you stereotype a conservative scientist exactly?

  • I'm not sure how I backpedaled... I probably could have used some better wording in my first post though.

    If praying is good for you, then great. I'm pretty sure there have been studies on it and how it affects the brain. It does make people feel better. Other than that though, it really doesn't accomplish anything.

    It's a pretty strong placebo for a lot of people. At least in terms of praying for themselves. In terms of "let's pray for timmy's cancer to go away" not so much.

  • its the "gotcha " twins!

  • I would venture to say that even Pascals wager applies in reverse too?

    if you dont pray for healing over the effects and devastation over diseases like cancer,

    dont expect a miracle then?

    my faith says to expect and look for such miracles when you pray it in Jesus' name....

  • So you think prayer has a tangible effect on the world around you?

  • Woody backpedals because he never learned to pedal his bike forwards.

    Neck cramps from looking backwards to where he's going? That would explain

    a decrease in blood flow to his brain, resulting in his weird posts, scientificly speakin...

    I cant know the results of what prayer by believers will have accomplished in holding back catastrophe,

    or helped with a miracle healing for someone, in the world at large.

    But believing when that prayer is in accordance with God's will it can and does change things....

    and its called faith.

  • you guys know who Pascal was right?

  • I prayed that the browns season last year would go off without an attack from an elephant. It didn't! I mean, I can't know what effect prayer had on that...

    The guy we named the unit of pressure after?

  • Sorry, I'll stop mocking now. It's not big and it's not clever. You have every right to worship who you like of course, and if prayer helps you feel better about yourself then have at it. Just don't expect everyone else to follow suit, and don't expect people not to be a little pissed that while they're actually doing things, you're just praying.

    I prayed my wisdom teeth removal would be performed without any issues. It mostly did! We don't know prayer didn't cause that

    those sites are blocked at my work, may I ask what you at least "think" they're going to prove? You often make assertions than provide links that in no way contribute to the authenticity of your assertions. It's like "as long as I link something...it proves i'm right". yeah it doesn't work that way.
