Guest guest Posted July 5, 2001 Report Share Posted July 5, 2001 Linda: Like every other kind of research, opinions of the outcome may vary. Personally I do not need science to validate my subjective experiences, but I can understand that some people prefer proof over faith. If you are really interested in finding out more about prayer research, my advice would be to do some websearching for yourself... there's a lot of it available out there and you can make your own decisions about it. I had located this link for another list I was on, in which a person's prayer request to the group was met by a skeptical remark that science had disproven the efficacy of prayer... which I found to be an obnoxious and unnecessary razing of someone's personal beliefs and philosophy. As I've said here before, if it works for you, then it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. You don't need someone else to tell you what is effective for you, and as long as it is non-invasive and emotionally supportive, I can't see any harm in it. http://www.medserv.dk/health/2000/11/16/story04.htm This might also answer the comment made by Rusty about the varied nature of prayer as a behavior, and how limiting its definition to " talking to God " is limiting the possibilities of its efficacy from the outset. -- --- Blessings, Crow " Look for Rainbows in the Darkness " --- Caroline " Crow " Abreu Check Out The Goddess of WooWoo Site of the Week! http://www.geocities.com/nrgbalance/goww.html AIM: CaroCrow Messenger: NRGbalance MSN Messenger: NRGbalance URL: http://www.geocities.com/nrgbalance Spam Delenda Est!
