So I Was Looking At An Old Vatican Article...
...and something occurred to me. Do people just not understand the placebo effect?
Or rather, are certain religious people merely using the placebo effect as evidence of God/divine intervention? It really baffles me how I can be taught such a simple concept in school and yet it can't be applied on a more national or global scale to debunk faith healers and the like. Or perhaps am I the one who does not understand it? Last edited by Avarice; 22nd March 2010 at 02:53 AM. |

People will substitute common sense with irrationality if they think it'll re-affirm their beliefs.
