Well, maybe you did it unknowingly (possibly), but you very clearly understood the gist of what I was saying because you just hit the nail precisely on the head!! This is exactly the point I was trying to make! There are people who throw this stuff out there under the name of science (presumably so they can take credit for some new discovery) when the underpinning concepts are nothing new at all. So, you were precisely correct!
The message here is also wholesome enough. I find no fault with looking for ways to suggest praying has more power than might meet the eye. No issue with that at all. I think where my issue comes in is where they turn around and start saying things like whatever they are claiming has been "peer reviewed" in an effort to further justify their findings. It's not technically a lie, in fact it is actually the truth, if you examine these things at their literal value. However, I firmly believe that some (not all) do this with the full knowledge that their readers will likely over interpret what is being claimed to feel good about their actions. For something like prayer, as I said, I can't really find fault with the underpinning message, but they didn't present it like that. Instead, they seemed to take it a step further and attempted to justify it to the scientific community at the same time. This, in my opinion, is where they went astray.
I also meant what I said at the end of my post; I do appreciate your posting this. And, you have my apologies, in that my reaction would have been the exact same regardless of who posted it, or where I saw it. In this particular case, you were just the messenger, but as I noted previously, it wasn't directed at you personally.
And, I hope you really do realize, my statement wasn't directed at you personally at all! It was merely a reaction to the article presented, nothing more. I honestly hope you can accept this.
P.S. Further, I don't think my previous statement falls under the category of "debunking" per se at all really. I would put forth that it is more of a "clarification" of what was presented, or maybe the manner in which it was presented.
No need to apologies. there was nothing wrong with your message , maybe i writed wrong way to give that idea? ....sometimes i am bit lost and confused what i actually write . Your input in this matter was all positive & good .
Frankly...i am not so good with communicating generally , put it`s partly also because English not my native language.
