"Morphic field" is a term introduced by Sheldrake. He proposes that there is a field within and around a "morphic unit" which organizes its characteristic structure and pattern of activity.[19] According to Sheldrake, the "morphic field" underlies the formation and behaviour of "holons" and "morphic units", and can be set up by the repetition of similar acts or thoughts. The hypothesis is that a particular form belonging to a certain group, which has already established its (collective) "morphic field", will tune into that "morphic field". The particular form will read the collective information through the process of "morphic resonance", using it to guide its own development. This development of the particular form will then provide, again through "morphic resonance", a feedback to the "morphic field" of that group, thus strengthening it with its own experience, resulting in new information being added (i.e. stored in the database). Sheldrake regards the "morphic fields" as a universal database for both organic (genetic) and abstract (mental) forms.

One thing that always bothered my logical mind growing up about prayer:
If we were able to get every Christian on Earth to all pray at the same time for a man to regrow his leg, would it?
I have heard of instances where prayer seemed to "magically" work. Perhaps the placebo effect?
Can we try to organize millions to regrow someone's leg? Lets see if it works!

And if this second post isn't evidence enough to show you that threads like these don't make me doubt God's "healing properties" whatsoever, they actually call to my memory the times where I was healed physically and emotionally.
I can't help but add that there are people out there who do in fact practice magic through the use of demons and even claim to heal others, but I honestly wouldn't recommend them.
As for the poster who said that God can't regrow a limb? I (obviously) disagree. I noticed that there are plenty of people willing to look for methods to force God to do this or that but I certainly didn't bring myself back to life, I could have yelled and screamed to be put back into my body and it would have done no good. It only happened because God wanted me to take my life up again that he told the angel to tell me that I was able to live in this body if I wanted. If the angel hadn't told me that I was able to choose to go back into my body, I wouldn't have known that I had a choice, he could have thought it to himself all he wanted but if he didn't tell me I wouldn't have known.
Lets say I asked you for some money, would you give it to me? Lets say I asked the President for money, would he give it to me? He certainly has the money why wouldn't he spare ten dollars, what I really want is to see if he gives a damn about even an ordinary citizen like myself right?
In my lowest lows I asked God to show me that he loves me, and he has left me without a doubt each time that he has heard me and loves me.
Here are some examples. When I was a kid I looked everywhere in that old little house for my snowpants and could not find them anywhere. My mom was busy with my four younger siblings

Out of curiosity, how do you know what god wants?
Also, tips of fingers have grown back, but entire limbs have never regenerated. Ever. So if you disagree, may I ask on what basis?

Alright you want to go there, that's fine. I believe it's possible to know what God wants because God tells those who are his what he wants. If God can bring me back to life, don't you think that he could regrow some limb?
As God replied to Moses in Exodus 4:11
-Then the LORD said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Who makes him mute, or deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it not I, the LORD?
