that's one way of looking at it.  The other is that we could do an experiment on the next person with the same head injuries.  Instead of treating them medically, we could pray for them and see if that works.

Why don`t we pray that it happens to someone in Wichita, & we might be able to delineate the miracle perimeter & everybody   could  
go to that area to buy miracle water & bumper stickers.
Haaha
I`ve fallen & I can`t get up, or
I`m tripping & I can`t come down.

The difference between theists and atheists is that the atheists don't set the theists on fire for refusing to agree with them.

I assume you're joking, Boo. I never suggested they not be treated medically. Nor did any of the people who prayed.
   The reason I don't see the point is that the underlying premise -- "People should not pray" -- is simply untenable. There are people who do not pray, and that's up to them, but the fact is, most humans have always prayed and always will. If you want to criticize various manifestations of religion, there are finer distinctions that could be made, to put it mildly. In other words, criticize distortions of religion, such as are seen in the ruling junta in Iran today, or the wingnut christianoids in this country, but don't criticize religion such as manifested in the spiritual courage of those who are resisting that junta. No less than their fascistic rulers, most of them pray five times a day. They just don't pray for the same thing.

I don't care if people pray.  I just think asking for stuff like it's a letter to Santa is kind of stupid.  But, I really could care less what people do as long as they realize that a medical emergency doesn't require prayer, it requires skilled doctors.
