In this study, the patients had no idea what was going on. The prayer-ers were in another room, so the patients didn't even have the company. They were just hanging out in their beds the same as anyone else in a hospital.

Either way, take all the pot-shots at Christianity you want. I'm not a Christian so I don't really care.
No offense, but you said a lot of different scattered things in the last half of your post. I really don't know what you were going for.

This is an enviroment of materia we are around,and to point something out is to bring it out and measure it.
Chi can't be measured.

So if we do not wish to ponder on the complex,it is our choise and pretty much allright.
I never said we shouldn't ponder it. I was merely pointing out a lack of significant progress.

So does it really make any sense to ponder on such?
Yes it does. If it truly exists in the world around us, then it warrants inquiry, especially considering how little we know. Though I think pondering should not be the extent of the investigation. With only pondering, you have merely conjecture, and it makes it no different than any philosophy or religion. If that is the extend of one's interests, that's fine. But if one wants to determine the nature of reality/life/universe/whatever it would take more than hypothesizing to determine anything.

You create something.YOU are responsible to confirm itīs validity in an OBJECTIVE,digestable way.
See, I have a problem with that right there. This line of logic would suggest that humans are responsible for the creation of chi. Though it has many definitions, a common one is that it is a lifeforce that runs through all living things. To claim this lifeforce is the by-product of humankind's faith (humans being only one of the many forms of life on this planet) is completely unfounded and vainglorious.
And that's another thing. Do we really even have one generally accepted definition of chi.
