I picked this story up from PZ Meyers blog.
US government website www.healthfinder.gov posted a story entitled “Can Hands-On Prayer Help Heal?” If you read the article you will see that the implied answer is “yes.” The article mentioned that the study was “peer reviewed” in the Southern Medical Journal. What it failed to mention is that there were NO CONTROLS. That’s right, the people participating in the study were self-selected individuals and probably believed that the faith healing would work. Great “scientific” study, right? Double-blind? Pshaw! Who needs double-blind studies when you have blind faith? So I guess if you have vision problems you should probably RUN to your nearest Benny Hinn crusade and get in line for your healing. Or you could seek treatment by medical professionals who practice scientific medicine-the choice is up to you.
Bonus video clip: enjoy Benny slaying people “in the spirit” to some of the worlds finest rap-rock.
