Editing Talk:818: Illness

I would define prayer as the active concentration on someone/something with an intended outcome.  I would define remote prayer as praying for/to someone/something that you have no direct or personal contact with with a very specific intended outcome.  
When I found out that Randall's fiancee had cancer, I though about him and her hoping that it would work out positively.  I assume (Yeah, yeah, I know) that others did as well.  Randall's now-wife got better.  Did we just prove that remote prayer works when done by geeks?!?  Could we make a web site for concentrating geek positive thoughts to make people better?  Could we make Stephen Hawking walk?!?--[[Special:Contributions/173.245.54.11|173.245.54.11]] 17:02, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
:This comic isn't about "Stephen Hawking", but it's all about Randall's experience on cancer happening to his wife. Please keep his minds as the main message here. --[[User:Dgbrt|Dgbrt]] ([[User talk:Dgbrt|talk]]) 23:30, 12 May 2014 (UTC)
I wonder if there's a link to the 2700

-:No we did not, as "I did this and then that happened" doesn't mean "doing this makes that happen"- that's correlation-does-not-imply-causation, anecdotal evidence, AND confirmation bias, all in one, fallacious burrito.
