Nor should anyone who values empirical evidence.im-skepticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267710618719895303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-60341791458721426482016-02-27T07:16:17.068-08:002016-02-27T07:16:17.068-08:00Lourdes is not anecdotal, it's empirical.

Both are scientific. the empirical app[roach is scientific too but with it they can control the study.Joseph Hinman (Metacrock)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06957529748541493998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-2053106363618757662016-02-27T06:59:37.378-08:002016-02-27T06:59:37.378-08:00First, he doesn’t use Lourdes or any other empiric...<i>First, he doesn’t use Lourdes or any other empirical record of miracles. He’s going entirely by double blind studies which can’t control for prayer from outside the control group; that makes such studies virtually worthless.</i><br /><br />If those studies are scientifically worthless, what makes you think that anecdotal accounts from Lourdes have any value?im-skepticalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08267710618719895303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11516215.post-36491322642627944262016-02-05T16:59:23.911-08:002016-02-05T16:59:23.911-08:00good analogy, thanks.

"This ruler doesn't show air pressure, so air pressure doesn't exist." No, it's simply that a ruler is the wrong tool, being meant to measure something else entirely.
