The Inability to Explain Why Something Works Does Not Invalidate Your Observation That It Works

Some sceptics might reject the results of this study on the ground that there's no natural explanation for why retroactive prayer would work. Doctor libovici anticipates this objection in his article and writes, 'No mechanism known to day can account for the effects of remote, retroactive intercessory prayer sad for a group of patients with a blood stream infection' The inability to explain why something works does not invalidate your observation that it does work. If you've got a medical intervention that works and is safe, you ought to use it even if you don't know why it works.
