Yes, like several universities around the country and the NIH, several judges in Missouri and many others. And Vaj, i don't know if anyone ever taught you this, but belief has no place in science. Science is all about double-blind studies using rigorous methods - which the TM studies use the most rigorous. You might want to look up science, scientific method, peer-review, etc and get an education. You have no argument against hundreds of studies published in peer- reviewed journals. You point is pure prejudice. > > Most good private schools and some public schools have exemplary > stats,>> I never mentioned stats...who cares. << But do I think a X-tian based indoctrination > method could not come up with a similar scam? >>> They have tried and failed.

I am bored with this, get back to me when you have several scientific studies that refute the TM research and when the NIH etc. stop funding the studies. And when the Christians come up with hundreds of studies saying prayer works the same, let me know. Otherwise no-one in the 21st century is going to listen to you or the fundies. Science reigns supreme, and these studies are robust. Tough luck people, you are screwed until you can come up with the same number saying the opposite or that something else works just as good.
