A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

Science is a social pursuit that shouldn't be credited solely to some priestly class of "scientists". How many people have prayed for the sick over the years? That's a major foundation for public support of scientific research.

If you pray for someone to recover from being sick, and they do, it wasn't the prayer that healed them... They just... Got better. Like normal people sometimes do.
The prayer did nothing but fulfill your own delusions.
