>A college student conducted a study designed to see if prayer would promote
>the growth of plants. He designed a carefully controlled study (identical
>soil composition, lighting, food, seeds from the same batch, etc.) in which
>the only variable was that one group of plants received prayers, the other
>didn't. After several months, there were no significant differences in the
>growth patterns of the two groups of plants. The student's conclusion: He
>was not sufficiently endowed with grace for his prayers to be effective.
