The largest study I've heard of--maybe 6-7 years ago--said that people undergoing surgery who were prayed for had the same survival rate, but more complications. I suspect it's a statistical anomaly, but I ask people NOT to pray for me when I have surgery. One friend just insists; maybe she's why I have so many complications.
I don't think there have been many studies on the effects of prayer on lava flows, so this might be a good time to test it out.

Prayer has been studied in medicine, and has been shown to effect healing, but you can always argue that it was pure coincidence. .. But in one study two groups of sick people, one prayed for, the other not, and the prayed for group had a statistically significant recovery... Sorry I don't have the exact reference, I would have to look it up...of course one study doesn't prove anything but maybe if more studies were conducted, prayer would be a proven treatment by now!!!
What is there to lose?[?]
