The linked study is a gag study, and didn't actually take place.
Think about it -- retroactive prayer? As in, the people got sick, either died or got better, and were then prayed for?
I mean, being an omnipotent deity is one thing, but effective retroactive prayer? Now that's a neat trick.
- steverb 12y agoIt fits with the logic though. If your god is omnipotent, then whether you pray before or after death shouldn't make any difference. I suppose, given the existence of a deity that is able to heal people, then this would be a decent way to determine whether or not said deity was truly omnipotent.
