Nothing scientific about ANY of the studies you cited. What if I told you that none of these findings can be repeated with any accuracy? A case study of 32 people with 20 finding some sort of comfort in prayer. The patients could watch funny movies and have a cheerful attitude and attain the same benefits that you attribute to supernatural belief.
What if I told you that again and again, in as many published studies as you cited, that the power of laughter in healing is far greater than that of pious religious magical thinking?
These published studies with hundreds of case studies and REPEATABLE results should sway you....but it won't because you believe in a book written by Bronze Age goat herders trying to understand why Mt. Sinai rumbled....
Oh yeah, and Jesus never did anything because Jesus is not real. Not one shred of evidence that Jesus existed in the form that is in that aforementioned book.
They don't test for that sort of bullshit because "God did it" is a non-testable hypothesis. You can never be sure if god did something or not, therefore it's useless to test for it.
The articles are evidence that relying on prayer alone is not a reliable treatment for ailments. They aren't trying to explain anything. They are simply reporting the facts.
If prayer works, you can prove it right now.
Pray for me to change my mind.
If I don't, then you're just a fucking lunatic (or a pedo kike trying to poison another well).
Magical thinking and bunk. Where is your evidence?

The magic sky wizard said so. Sadly the wackos are killing their children with this BS. Or maybe it's better they don't reproduce.....

Trust the science
That was always an oxymoron and used as propaganda.
Actual science has never relied on trust.
I got more trust in God than the hijacked medical industry thanks.
