Abstract: | Presents the "experiment" conducted by the prophet Elijah in 1 Kings 18:17–40 in which the priests of Baal and Elijah each sacrificed a bull and invoked the name of their respective god, but only Elijah's god responded. Satirical comments of 3 "reviewers" of psychological articles are included to show the ethical and methodological issues that might be raised if such an experiment were conducted today.
