Secular scientists just can't stick to one idea, can they?
Atheists! Make the right choice!
or
It should be obvious.
Come stand with us, with Christians, with Jesus, in eternal glory in heaven instead of agony in hell. You won't regret it!

You know what would be so much easier, pastor? Having one truth that is 100% accurate and never needs to be changed, for it is perfect. Oh wait... Don't we already have that? If only the secular scientists would learn to accept the truth of the bible.

There is no empirical evidences that suggest that a god exists. Nor is there any proof that some bronze age peasants didn't make that bible and cult to get your tithe money.

Someone prays for something to happen. It happens. That's empirical evidence right there, however much you want to disagree with the meaning of the word.

Alright, where your studies showing empirical evidences suggesting that praying makes something happen?
None?
Oh well. Now that you're talking prayers, lets see talk about some studies from Harvard.
Between the years 1997-2005 there was a very interesting experiment conducted at Harvard, trying to statistically probe the Therapeutic Effects of Intercessory Prayer in Cardiac Bypass Patients.
Cardiologist Prof. Herbert Benson and his colleagues randomly assigned over 1800 cardiac bypass patients to one of three conditions:
Group 1: those told they may or may not be prayed for (and who weren't) - 604 patients
Group 2: those told they may or may not be prayed for (and who were) - 601 patients
Group 3: those told they would be prayed for (and who were) - 604 patients
Experiment:
The experiment cost over 2.0$ million, involving 6 medical centers, 6 different Christian congregations, signed approval of participants and a medical team which was not involved in the secret maintained neutral to the end result.
Prayers:
The members of the 2 prayed-for groups were prayed by members of 6 different congregations and/or family members. The prayers were allowed to pray in their own manner, but they were instructed to include the following phrase in their prayers: “for a successful surgery with a quick, healthy recovery and no complications.†Prayers began the night before the surgery and continued daily for two weeks after. The researchers monitored the patients for 30 days after the operations.
Results:
Quote:
In the two groups uncertain about receiving intercessory prayer, complications occurred
in 52% (315/604) of patients who received intercessory prayer versus 51% (304/597) of those
who did not (relative risk 1.02, 95% confidence interval[sup]**[/sup] 0.92-1.15). Complications occurred in
59% (352/601) of patients certain of receiving intercessory prayer compared with the 52%
(315/604) of those uncertain of receiving intercessory prayer (relative risk 1.14, 95% confidence
interval 1.02-1.28). Major events and 30-day mortality were similar across the 3 groups.
|
or, in short:
Group 1 : 52% complications.
Group 2 : 51% complications.
Group 3 : 59% complications.
52% is the common ratio in the overall population = reference value.
Conclusions:
Quote:
Intercessory prayer itself had no effect on complication-free recovery from
CABG, but certainty of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with a higher incidence of
complications.
|
Or:
Not only did prayer not help the patients, those that were told they were being prayed for experienced more complications.
The reason is simple: being aware that people is praying for you and speaking about you with god just makes you more tense ---> being tense is bad for your heart.
My comment:
In the above analysis, it is assumed that god co-operated with the experiment and "behaved" like he always "behaves" as if there is no experiment

tl;dr
Jesus answers the Prayers of those who TRULY believe, and those who have been washed in His blood. He doesn't answer the Prayers of atheists, witches, queers, catholics, liberals, and so on. The joo scientists who do those "prayer tests" always stack the deck with perverts and such, so of course their Prayers will go unanswered.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

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.
Quote:
empirical
[em-pir-i-kuh l] IPA Syllable
3 adjectives
adjective
1. derived from or guided by experience or experiment.
2. depending upon experience or observation alone, without using scientific method or theory, especially as in medicine.
3. provable or verifiable by experience or experiment.

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.

You're retarded.
In science, empirical evidence is required for a hypothesis to gain acceptance in the scientific community. Normally, this validation is achieved by the scientific method of hypothesis commitment, experimental design, peer review, adversarial review, reproduction of results, conference presentation and journal publication.
This requires rigorous communication of hypothesis (usually expressed in mathematics), experimental constraints and controls (expressed necessarily in terms of standard experimental apparatus), and a common understanding of measurement.
With your poor logic, If someone prays for something to happen, and it does but there's no scientific method to back it up, it has the same consistancy as flipping a coin and getting the desired result out of chance.
Let say I offer the task to prayerful people to cause some slight change in the world via the power of prayer, such as tipping a pen off their desk. Religionists might respond that such tasks are beneath the dignity of their gods, so as to avoid the inevitable loss of face at being unable to do so.
There have been attempts to carry out double-blind experiments to prove the value of prayer most notably by the Templeton Foundation.
Not surprisingly, these have shown that prayer has no noticeable effect.
Indeed, in the study quoted, prayer had a small negative effect on the health of the patients prayed for.
However, medical studies have shown that for individuals, time spent in prayer can lower stress and therefore effect stress related illness. This is not due to god's interventions, however, but the secretion of particular hormones during moments of heightened focus such as meditation, solo prayer, and yoga.
Prayer also has the illusory benefit of feeling as if you are doing something, when there is nothing else you can do for a situation.
Every time a Pope falls ill and ends up on his deathbed, we may assume that the one billion catholics in the world all pray for his recovery. Despite this enormous effort of prayer, 100% of Popes eventually die.

Worthless prayers. Catholics are not Christians, therefore they have not had their sins washed from them by the Blood of Christ (like the True Christians™ have), therefore they are sinners, and God does not answer the prayers of sinners.
All territory that we have covered before.

Aaaaaand, guess what the Bible says? It says EVERYONE DIES EVENTUALLY.
If a Pope managed to never die somehow, THAT would disprove the Bible.
So get on it.

Like I said, you're retarded, learn what it mean in the context of science.
I knew you would say '' BUT ONLY BAPTIST TRUE CHRISTIAN PRAYERS WORKS!!!!111'' Guess what, many other religions believed that their prayers were answered too, but it doesn't mean that it was caused by a fairy tale sky wizard. But stangely, religiontards mind, including yours, works like this when faced with flipping coin prayers:
Meanwhile, no amount of prayers you'll ever do will make that sky wizard slap my face right now. No amount of prayers will make your imaginary sky dweller land on earth to shows he's real, no prayers will repeat the miracles that jesus did ( healing the blind with a hand wave ).
Give me one scientific evidence that God exists and I will believe.

Fun fact:
I did not create this thread so disbelievers who like masturbating to the videos of a guy who uses God's name in vain could come and call everyone here retards. As Pastor Ezekial would say, we are right and you are wrong according to the holy word of god. If you disagree, please do so either in the privacy of your own mind, or use scripture, which is the ONLY thing accepted as truth, to back up your claim.
P.S. Even if something happens by chance, it is still technically empirical evidence. I disagree with Mr Much on many things, but in this case, he is right.

1) When are you going to realize that ad hominem attacks only make your argument look weaker?
2) For your attempted insults to mean anything to me, I'd have to respect your opinion. As you've relied on little but ad hominems, bad logic, misunderstanding of basic scientific and epistemology terms, ignorance of the scientific method, and a complete lack of understanding of the religious mind, why would I?
3) The word means the same in any context (or else it would have a separate definition listed, and it doesn't).
Quote:

No, I didn't. I said that the Bible says that prayers of Catholics are worthless.
And go look up "Strawman Fallacy", because that's what you just did (fallacious arguments just make your case look even weaker).

Because that would be PROOF of His existence, and He doesn't do that. He wants your faith, which is incompatible with proof. If you have one, you have no need of the other.

He never did that (not even in the Bible). Keep showing your ignorance.

Every time a pope falls ill and dies Satan and his minions get ready for one more anus to scrape, grab, plunge into, and otherwise slop their demonic spooge into for eternity!
Praise Jesus!
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

There was Einstein pronouncing that the speed of light is constant relative to the observer and then these physicists start treating it as an absolute value. Even the arch-polemecist acknowledging differences between an obsessive compulsion and Historical Records preserved for us by God in The Bible finds the latter to be of greater interest.
In one of the linked articles:
Quote:
http://phys.org/news/2014-05-does-light-experience-time.html#inlRlv_
Just think about that idea. From the perspective of a photon, there is no such thing as time. It's emitted, and might exist for hundreds of trillions of years, but for the photon, there's zero time elapsed between when it's emitted and when it's absorbed again. It doesn't experience distance either.
|
Prevaricating, the physicist when questioned might say "..er ..do you mean what would it be like if you were sitting on the photon?" but of course that would not be what I meant I'd have been asking what would it be like if I actually was the photon and they'd dodge around going "if you were the photon ..when, exactly?" and I'd reply when you thought I was sitting on it.
No wonder Hitchens found religion more interesting. Even a tapeworm would!

Here's another one - sickular scientists changing their mind:
Black holes do not exist
Quote:
Black holes — the most dense objects in the universe that do not even let light escape — do not exist, a physics professor in the US has claimed. Laura Mersini-Houghton at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the College of Arts and Sciences, has proven, mathematically, that black holes can never come into being in the first place.
