Just saw this article on newscientist.com. Interesting results, to say the least, but I don't think 200 women is enough. I doubt they'd find such a result with a larger group.

I've heard all this bleck before.
Until the study groups number in the tens of thousands, and include people of ALL religions and no religion, and 'placebo' people praying to nonexistent beings: ("Dear SantaClaus / Superman / Great Potato, let her get preggers"), it's junk science.
