You really have a problem with definitions, don't you?
If someone prays for something to happen, and it does,
THAT IS EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE. PERIOD.
Likewise, if nothing happens, that is
also empirical evidence.
Empirical means "coming from observation", as opposed to coming from theory.

You don't
like the empirical evidence? That's your problem.
It doesn't change
the meaning of the word.
ps. Your studies will convince no one here, as none of the participants were True Christians™ (therefore they were sinners), and the Bible says that God doesn't answer the prayers of sinners.
