If "yes", then that effect ought to be at least detectable, if not measurable. Otherwise how can you possibly even suspect it happens at all?
If "no", then this god can safely be ignored as irrelevant to the Universe altogether.
Would you assume the method of God answering a prayer/petition to be the same each and every time? What if a given answer comes in the way of lifting the veil off your eyes and would allow you to see Him? What would you measure? After 'proof' of God has got to be one of the all time most common prayer that just about everyone has prayed for. I can think a dozen ways without giving it any thought as to how this prayer Might be answered, and each one would be different. So then what all encompassing instrument would you use, when and where would you set it up?
Again all that to demonstrate the feasibility of measuring a answered prayer would have to be contingent on knowing How when and what method a prayer must be answered. if God were had to use a singular methodology to answer a given prayer would he then still be considered God?
