Talk:Germ theory of disease
I think the part about the Christian Scientist should be removed. The reason being, the page that that referenced makes claims like:
I've found prayer to be the quickest way to stop disease.
If this were true, everyone could just pray and disease would go away. This clearly doesn't happen.
--It should. People just dont pray correctly - they always wish for selfish things. God is not a genie, granting wishes on request.
Germ theory is the naturalistic explantion for disease, but the examples to be found within the bible - God-sent and God-relieved plagues, the casting out of demons - show that there can be a supernatural cause for illness too.
Germs had no power to make me sick; it was my belief in them and fear of them that were behind the cold symptoms I was experiencing
So he got sick just by thinking about being sick?

It's ONLY a "theory" not FACT...Just like evolution. Crackertalk 19:45, 16 March 2007 (EDT)
