So I was studying for a research methods in psychology exam and as I was reading the section about pseudoscience it dawned on me: “hey, this sounds a lot like religion - specifically miracles and prayer!” Thanks to Unreasonable Faith for the chart format.

I have seen the article having the comparison with the difference between the two facts but i noticed one thing the two comments & both of them are contrary to each other so these comments make the article very good impressive but why are there not any other comments do you really want to be a selfish moderator?

I don’t delete any comments unless they are spam. I enjoy seeing what everyone has to say whether they agree with me or not

Nice post. It searched in Google and i got to know more what exactly you wanted to post.This seems to be a nice experiment by you.

Most religions these days have blind followers. They can’t even make sense when talking about their own beliefs! Independent investigation of the truth is the way to go people! =)

interesting topic to read but should be explained more i think.i think every action we are doing regarding our religion e.g.pray,is having some scientific process in our life..like meditation.

Unfortunately, my friend, there is much that you don’t understand or any of us for that matter. Science is still catching up. Remember that the world’s “greatest” minds once believed that the Earth was flat and that bloodletting was actually good for you. I agree with you completely on the religion bit(not so much on prayer though), but don’t shit on other esoteric ideas simply because you can’t replicate results in a lab. Open your mind and stop being so judgmental with your ideas.

I do not belong to any particular religion. I do not go to church but I do find that
Prayer seems to work.

Great article i like your article.

I don’t know much about pseudoscience and just know pseudoscience is an activity resembling science but based on fallacious assumptions. But i can say it affirmatively that prayer have a great impact and influence on my life. It is the motivating force that keep me always rejoiced and satisfied.

The chart you have posted is interesting. I never thought the two are the same. My question however is on the last parts of the charts where in it says the two are not logical in any way and that it doesn’t actually work. Why would prayer be something illogical? And if pseudoscience is a science, then it has to be logical,right? There are also cases where prayers actually work. I hope you can respond to my queries. Thank you.

Nice chart. Your by no means are you a “selfish moderator”. The chart speaks for itself. It doesn’t surprise me at all that the two are but the same. Deception often will disguise itself as truth. It might sound good like Intelligent Design for example, but in the end it’s just deception.
I myself have seen prayer working, but then again I have also seen it not working as well. It’s just wishful thinking and nothing more.
With all the gods in this world who’s to say what god or gods should get credit or blame? In the end though where is the source of information coming from. Is there no bias or prejudistic thought. Is it to find truth with some objectiveness, or is it just to try and prove something by disproving something else. Are they being objective or are they being doubtful?
I have found many contradictions in the bible and found with meditation and objective observation that truth never contradicts itself. I have been enlighten with an open mind, and heart as well that I don’t need to believe the truths that others believe, but rather to believe in what is truth.

For me humanism is the most important thing and it is the only thing that needs to be there in a particular person.
September 15th, 2009 at 2:00 pm
Interesting chart. I also don’t understand the last three comparisons. Prayer isn’t illogical. It works for me all the time.
September 24th, 2009 at 2:51 am
very interesting…I strongly believe that prayers can move mountains.
September 24th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
great article - it helps to make us beleive even more in prayers

humanism is what makes the world go around!

As a religious man I believe in God and every body believe in God and Should be. Every individual have an experience the result of believing God. I have also so many experience in which stapes I was in fully trouble when God save me. I could share very many such testimonies of God’s grace and deliverance toward myself and my family, this is just one of them. My God is faithful - He supplies all my needs according to His riches in Christ Jesus.

To me religion is the only answer to the questions, typical human logic’s cannot answer you all the questions, like consider the physics which can take you to the point of singularity but at certain point it has to refer to the meta physics which is based on just assumptions.
