That's not a frivolous question, now that you've raised the subject of prayer.
Little Madeleine famously disappeared from her parents' hotel room in Portugal almost nine years ago. Her parents spent a great deal of time visiting prayer groups around the world, even having audiences with the then-Pope, yet apart from a handful of spurious sightings she has never been seen again, and is likely dead. So why is this? Why have the prayers of all these thousands of fervent faithful still not been answered? If this god can heal a disease known for periodic remission, why is this little girl - who would be 12 by now - still missing?
The topic is can/do miracles happen--not why didn't one happen in a particular case. In fact, it would be a miracle to know the specifics of why--since that too would be specific knowledge from a supernatural source.
