Quote by Michael Shermer
Scientific prayer makes God a celestial lab rat, leading to bad science and worse religion.
Summary
This quote suggests that when prayer is approached from a purely scientific perspective, it reduces the concept of God to a subject of experimentation. By framing prayer as an experiment, it implies that God's responses can be tested and analyzed in a lab-like manner. The quote criticizes this approach, arguing that it undermines both scientific inquiry by misapplying its methods to matters beyond its scope, and religion by reducing divine interaction to mere scientific observations. It highlights the potential negative consequences of blurring the boundaries between scientific exploration and religious beliefs.
