Scientists from Northwestern studied the effects of prayer on people recovering from heart surgery. Some people were prayed over the others weren't. The effect? Nothing. And now some people are taking two stances on the situation: being pissed off or overexplaining.
The pissed off people are indignant as to think that anyone would dare to study God. However, these very people also attended some sort of theological training, which is studying basically God. Besides, wouldn't a little scientific data to back up the faith help those who were in limbo?
The other thing opponents are doing is overexplaining the study. It was wrong because of this reason or that reason.
This study only backed up what every sports fan already knew: If you're having heart trouble and you're counting on prayer to make it through (or to help your team score a few more points), you're usually SOL.
