I’ve seen similar “experiments” by people who say nice feelings do the same thing with water crystals. These guys think that the Koran will do the same thing because its “holy words” alter water. They believe it will do wonderful things to people because we are two-thirds water. Another suggests that water purified by Koran readings might soon be sold.

I bet there is a scammer getting ready for that now.

This is no different from the quacks in the nineteenth century who thought the newly harnessed power of electricity would do great things for the human body. Of course, magnets are a perennial favorite to cure disease too, but I regress from the video at hand. My point being that someone always comes along with something new to impress a few fools.

Masaru Emoto is the man generally associated with the water crystal “feel good” changes. Here is an article pointing out the unscientific premise of his work. Emoto was prominently featured in the 2004 film “What the #$*! Do We Know?” Here is a skeptic approach to it.

I’m not sure, but I think that is Emoto in this video. That would explain everything. At the very least its one of his disciples.

What I find interesting is that in 2004 New Age spiritualists were enthralled with Emoto’s idea. Now, in this video, devout Muslims are sucked into the same fantasy. At least in “What the #$*! Do We Know?,” Emoto convinced people that all good feelings caused these changes in water. In his view, water operated as some kind of universal translator for good feelings.

In this video, these guys think its just Allah and Islam doing it. I don’t notice Emoto or whomever it is jumping forward to say that writing the name of Moses, Jesus or Buddha onto a glass water will do the same thing.
