From Scientific American:

It examined 1,800 patients undergoing heart-bypass surgery. On the eve of the operations, church groups began two weeks of praying for one set of patients. Each recipient had a praying contingent of about 70, none of whom knew the patient personally. The study found no differences in survival or complication rates compared with those who did not receive prayers. The only statistically significant blip appeared in a subgroup of patients who were prayed for and knew it. They experienced a higher rate of postsurgical heart arrhythmias (59 versus 52 percent of unaware subjects).

Some people said, in response to one of the last questions, that god answers all prayers, and sometimes the answer is no. These people weren't praying to win the lottery - they were praying to live a little bit longer, to not suffer more than they have already suffered. Why would god say no to every single one, and punish the ones who knew it?

I just asked the question in Yahoo Answers, "If you do not believe in God, why do you get so angry at people believing you will go to hell?" Most of the people who answered seem to read the question "angry at people telling you you will go". Do you think this was a subconscious "dodge" of the question? What is your theory?

Do British people find our American accents interesting, sexy, unrefined, rough,...? I was just curious to know. Is there a stereotype that comes with our American accent? I know that many Americans find British accents very intriguing, so I wanted to see if that feeling is reciprocated. Thanks

The Gospel of St Matthew gives one genealogy of Jesus Christ and that of Luke gives another. From King David to the father of Joseph, they are totally different. What is more, they then both go through Joseph, who if you believe in the virgin birth, wasn't Jesus' father at all! Doesn't all the business about 'Son of David' and 'King of the Jews' depend on his being the son of Joseph?
Please don't tell me 'God is unsearchable' etc - that's just a cop-out.

Who here doesn't need a book to know the divine? Who here can just be in the ocean, or under a tree, or on the grass looking up at the sky, and it just clicks for them?
That's what's happened to me, and everythings just made sense since that point. I think the truth is in the wind.
I don't care if you are religious or not, I think this experience defies religion. Maybe it even helped you understand yours more.
Anyone?

If a man goes to the doctors to get an opperation and the doctors says they have a 50/50 chance of making it out alive, the number dont change if the person prays.
So
Do you thing prayer really works, dont give a personal example because that could be a one time thing( like hitting the lottery). I want to see a mathimatical proof of this.

The fact is, that when the war started, the vast majority of Americans were overwhelmingly in favor of the war-- including most Congressman (Democrats too)-- despite the protestations of the rest of the world. The only reason they want to leave now is because the War is costing American money, and more importantly, American lives. The US is basically going to quit because it knows they it win. But do the Americans have a right to leave? After costing Iraq hundreds of thousands of lives and pushing it to the brink of civil war, doesn't the US have a moral obligation to fix the mess that it has created (especially considering that the US put Saddam in power in the first place)? Or should the US just leave, like losers, and essentially plunge Iraq and the entire Middle East (and hence, eventually the world) into chaos? Iraq is your fault America-- stop trying to turn your back and fix it.
