If this paper is right, and it surely isn’t, it would be evidence not only for God, but for the Islamic god—Allah. What we have, courtesy of reader S. Krishna, is a paper from the 2013 volume of International Journal of Poultry Science (reference and link to abstract below) claiming that chickens slaughtered in halal fashion, while uttering the name of Allah, show changes in their livers and pectoral muscles that aren’t seen when slaughtered identically, but without saying the word Allah.

Someone was dumb enough to write this paper, and someone was dumb enough to publish it. Sigh.

The question of why Allah would place such obscure evidence for His existence is left unanswered.

According to the comments section, the publisher is a predatory publisher. So, not dumb, just willing to publish any damned thing if the price is right.
 
Well whaddya know, I guess Islam is true.

Goodbye, bacon. :sad-smiley-021:

Really? Cause halal slaughter does not just mean to say allah, it also require the animal to bleed.

They (allegedly) compared a halal slaughter where "allah" was uttered and a halal slaughter where "allah" was not uttered.

What they also needed to do (besides follow experimental protocols and good statistical practices that they didn't), is slaughter one in halal style, and utter the word "dinner".... Control for arbitrary auditory stimulus.
 
There needs to be a silent option (nothing is said) and also perhaps "Alan" in case God is a bit deaf.
 
Of course it does. Speech carries energy, some of it will be absorbed by the body.

Now, this being a detectable effect is another matter....
