Thor Wrote:We can't DISPROVE the existence of "God". How many times do we have to say this? We CAN, however, disprove the effectiveness of prayer. In fact, WE HAVE! http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/31/health....html?_r=1And how many times must Christians point out that the effectiveness of prayer cannot be proven with scientific studies or tests? God will not allow it to happen. Think about it: If God wants belief in him and prayer to be based solely on faith, why would he allow any scientific test to yield accurate results? In fact, even if a test wasn't specifically conducted, but a random sample was taken later of people who prayed and people who didn't, God would know ahead of time and would nullify such study by equalizing the results.
AngelThMan Wrote:You pointed to the 9/11 disaster to demonstrate that prayer doesn't work, since there must've been many Christians among those who died. But you're failing to acknowledge that while many people died, many others also got away.
Thor Wrote:Yes, many people escaped the disaster. And people like you see a plane crash where three people survive and 197 die, and point to the three people as evidence of "God's" miraculous powers.Even if everyone died, it's because God had determined that their time on earth was up. If God wanted to save you, he would have found a way to keep you from getting on that plane.
AngelThMan Wrote:I was just countering his claim by providing possible scenarios that could've occurred during that tragedy which do not contradict or deny the existence or God and the power of prayer.
Thor Wrote:Yeah, "possible scenarios" for which you have no evidence...Uhh... 'possible scenarios' don't need any evidence because they are in fact... 'possible scenarios.'
