Masaru Emoto and The Problematic Experiment that Scammed Us All: A Deep Dive

You might not have ever heard of Masaru Emoto, but I'll bet you have heard his "science" preached somewhere in Word of Faith/NAR circles, the New Age movement, TikTok, or even a Disney movie. Masaru Emoto was a Japanese author and… "water researcher"… who got famous for claiming human words, thoughts, and emotions can physically affect water, therefore reality. His study is quoted in New Age and Word of Faith circles, and yes... probably even in your own church. I personally remember oohing and ahhing over this study. So did my friend Steven Bancarz, who is a friend and ex New Ager. But ironically, the actual study itself doesn't even hold to its own claims. Which is wild. The problem? Most people don't actually read the study or critically assess it. When I wanted to do my own deep dive into Emoto last year, through an interesting series of events, Steven got interested too, so we decided to team up. He did a LOT of research on this study, and he shares it all in this video. With him being so knowledgeable on New Age and my wheelhouse being New Thought, we’re pretty much set up to show you exactly why Masaru Emoto’s teachings are garbage, and why prosperity preachers and New Agers need to stop using his "studies" to prop up their spiritual pseudoscience. Timestamps: 00:00- INTRO: Who is Steven Bancarz, and how did he get caught up in New Age "spiritual science"/pseudoscience? 14:56- PART 1: Laying the groundwork- What's being taught, why it matters for Christians, and how "faith plus healing" gets tied to Emoto's scientific claims. 55:35- PART 2: Masaru Emoto as the case study- "words and intention affect reality" claims, shady credentials, and how "science" gets used as authority, the Emoto-Noetic "consciousness affects matter" studies: the 2005/2006 claims, and why the conclusions don't hold up. 1:26:48- PART 3: A thought experiment: What would it mean if consciousness could actually affect matter? Why this stuff convinces people: confirmation bias, manifestation thinking, the 'observer effect," and does the famous Double Slit Experiment prove the observer effect? … Orrrr is there another “spooky” explanation? (This surprised me.) 2:03:10- PART 4: A thought experiment: what if the Double Slit Experiment DID prove our minds can affect our subatomic environment, and intention or desire changes reality? How can we understand these ideas biblically? Discussing the Charismatic and Word of Faith connections. 2:25:57- PART 5: Addressing common proof texts for speaking things into existence. The Word of Faith and charismatic overlap, connections with "decreeing and declaring," and real-world harm. 3:06:43- CONCLUSION: A better framework- suffering, humility, trusting God with healing, Steven's "thorn," and closing prayer. 👉My Website: https://www.melissadougherty.co/ 📚My children's book The Day That Made The Way with Brave Books: madetheway.com 💡Want to know more about this "New Thought" thing?
