  • In other words: ...

    In other words: There is evidence for the fact that prayer and meditation put the brain in a special state.

    There is no specific evidence for this special state affecting the mutation of cancer cells or the like. You have to prove these things one at a time.

  • You're mixing two ...

    You're mixing two things here. Science is aware that thought is a physical process in and of itself, and it can be measured. MRI scans of the brain reveal activity in different parts of the brain, depending on what we are thinking or feeling.

    But anything you infer from that point on requires *specific* evidence, and that is the challenge the "quantum healers" and so on never meet. They make some vague comments about the observer effect and don't further explain the real workings of their area.
