the study took years, ma kenet men afa idoun ma3moulé, the people praying in the monastaries were not bribed to pray and may even not be in on it, and the patients certainly were not aware of what is going on
they do not walk up to people and say "we're conducting a study and we will not pray for you and see if you will die  "
the study was an observation on whether or not praying to people help, the doctor himself was not praying for the sake of the study
the study took time and money, I think whoever spent 2 million dollars and went through the trouble of monitering and collecting and studying data of 1800 people, took measures that even you would nto think about
edit: basicly what you said was my original point: prayers do not change anything |
- Basically the person who spends 2 millions on THAT study is a fool.
- Prayers do not change anything if u only pray when u're in need, and when u're not, u go out and kill people. I think everyone has a destiny i suppose and how u handle the problems along the road in that destiny of urs, decides if u're going to the top floor or the ground floor, and at times this destiny of urs changes, miracles do happen in my thoughts, and that's what they are. a change of destiny given to u as a chance to make up for our sins, or as a reward, or or or or.....no1 can really understand God's way in handling things, what u're doing here is simplifying God's acts and our purpose in ONLY PRAYERS! as if prayers are the only thing that God is, alright prayers are good, it's a good way to ask from God to look merciful'y down upon us and give us another chance, but it's not the soul purpose of ones death, or tragedy, other purposes are included, that we don't, as simple human beings understand, maybe testing someone else close to that person who died, or maybe giving the survivor a little slap on the head so he can wake up and start fixing his sins before he actually dies and has to deal with God on judgment day, it may be several other reasons we don't know...so u can't just simplify death or survival by getting 1800 ppl to pray for some1, it's not the case, u're hoping here for a miracle that happens so few times for reasons i can't claim to understand cz i don't...
