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.

Prayer heals disease by editing history. Of course you're not aware of all the diseases it has cured!
That's why I light this and pray to St. Carl of Ithaca every night.
You have to add "Thoughts &" for the prayers to be effective
Well, I don't see too many demon-possessed people or witches around today, do you?
I do have a witch friend, their population is tiny though

To be fair, you wouldn’t know the diseases that are eradicated by prayer since they’re stripped from our timeline when looking backwards.
There could be dozens of them!
What about the woke mind virus?
Prayer has a hundred percent cure rate for that.
Came here to say exactly this.
But, according to Fox News, even God can't eradicate the Woke Mind Virus. But that's because Yahweh loves cruelty.
Maybe in January of 2020 we should have told everyone to stay home and pray for three or four months.
You're only considering the diseases that God didn't prevent from existing in the first place. You can't expect him to stop all the potential diseases, can you?? He's not Superman!
