I am proud of you. I spent much of my live believing in prayer, which in my mind would be the same thing as sending intentions for some thing to change. IT DOES NOT WORK!! My thinking is now completely scientific based. The Intention Experiment is the same con job that people like Oral Roberts and others like him have used to take advantage of people. You go girl.

Are you referring to something specific? Dave,

From what I hear, some of this stuff defies physical laws that have been around for many many years, such as, matter can not be created or destroyed. Maybe we could have been wrong about it, but for now, I highly doubt that. But hey, if someone proves it, then awesome. I don't think they will, and I feel as though this whole thing is a bunch of bullshyt. I am a pretty open minded person, and this stuff seems cool, but just out there.

Just because I don't share your beliefs doesn't mean that my mind is closed. Unlike you, I've actually researched the facts, read books and medical journals, and heard just about every crackpot theory from New-age fanatics. This is what my conclusions are based upon -- not feel-good testimonies, nor the pseudo-intellectual hogwash of McTaggart or Neale Donald Walsch, but the straightforward evidence gathered over the centuries by hard-working scientists. If you'd like to contribute further, then try clarifying this for me: - Name some coincidences that you feel are "unexplained," and why you feel that way. What is the meaning behind these coincidences? - When you pray for me, which god will you pray to? And, for the record, what precisely will you pray for? This could be a good opportunity to find out if prayer works. If you pray for something sufficiently unlikely, and it comes true, then I assure you I'll reevaluate my conclusions. Robbi:

That does not make you absoulutly right. You should try to be more open minded about this beautiful mystery..... there are too many unexplained coincidences.I will pray for you....
