(May 9, 2017 at 10:00 am)Catholic_Lady Wrote: So for example: a couple wants a child but is battling infertility, and they pray to God every day asking to be blessed with a child. They end up getting pregnant with a healthy baby against all odds. God answered their prayer. But God already knew ahead of time that this child would come into existence because He already knew that the parents would pray for one and that their prayers would be answered. This child didn't change anything. God already knew the parents would pray and He already knew He would answer those prayers.

Meanwhile, at the fertility clinic...

Doctor: "You're welcome?"
Nurse: "Don't hold your breath; they 'prayed.'"
Doctor: "Ahh, I see.  Want to grab a beer?"
Nurse: "Sure, I could use a night of debauchery."
Doctor: "I'll get my hat!"
