Study Finds Prayer Does Not Work

A huge study found that prayer had no significant effect on any of the 1800 recipients who each had a praying contingent of about 70, none of whom knew the patient personally. The study found no differences in survival or progress was made compared to those who did not receive prayers. The only statistically significance of prayer appeared in a subgroup of patients who were prayed for and knew it. it's all about hope.
