I haven’t checked it out and I’d be open to review the evidence in its favor, the reason behind my comment was this:
Unfortunately, y’all atheists don’t believe in magic (…) You won’t mix science and religion, so you can’t innovate as much
By definition, if something is observed to behave according to logical laws, it is not supernatural, and therefore not magic. Religion by definition requires faith, and if you’re using faith specifically for your scientific endeavors, you’re doing science wrong.
No it isn’t lol. You can tangibly observe, experiment, and interact with the placebo effect/pharmaceuticals. There is a literal method that is used to prove things like the placebo effect.
Faith (from the religious understanding) is for that which can’t be proven, thus antithetical to science. And before I hear something bogus like “faith in the method”: that method has proven itself millions of times over with physical tangible proof.
Hell if you Google the definition of faith the second one is literally “strong belief in God or in the doctrines of a religion, based on spiritual apprehension rather than proof.”
Atheists be like “look at all the things my real and not made up methodology can do” and then post science fiction.
Your comment is at odds with your other comments. And you’d think a scientist would know about the scientific measurements of the placebo effect rather than boiling it down to faith: which is asinine.
Today’s engineering is the past century’s science fiction.

Thanks, you’ve just convinced me that internet was a mistake.

I’m going to be charitable and assume that you’re describing faith as something that may be studied by science, which I have no issues with.
If you think faith is required at any point of the methodology of the scientific method, you should go back to middle school.
