ABC posted a story about whether or not prayer works in terms of a person being healed. The final conclusion was that those who were prayed for did not necessarily get better than those who were not prayed for.
The thing is that you cannot use scientific data to try to prove whether or not prayer works or not. We can pray for a lot of different things but if it is not in God's will, then the prayer request will not be granted. I have prayed for many different things and have had the prayer request granted so I believe it works.

They tried doing a blind taste test, but Pepsi won over prayer 9-1.

yes, I read one recently that was done, and it showed that those who were prayed for actually faired a little worse than those who were not. Even when the participants were told that they were being prayed for, when they weren't. So, not even in a psycosematic way did it prove to do any good at all. Totally true and serious.

See the study referred to in www.slate.com/id/2139373/nav/tap1 to fully appreciate the true power of prayer

It has, but I find the whole idea absurd. As if G-d is going to subject himself to such scrutiny.
