Evidence for a god. Do you have any ?

Ok so did more research to remember the story. Ok so how can an incurable illness that she had be cured? If you watch the movie and stuff the hit on the head was what the doctor called the brain turning on and off and body restarting and she was cured with the restart. Still an impossible phenomenon where she could have died but instead had a positive ending.

'Incurable' is a loaded word. It doesn't mean "it will always, forever and ever be incurable," but rather "given our current knowledge of the condition, our current knowledge of medical science in general, and our current level of technology, there's currently no cure."

As far as how, I don't know. I'm not a scientist. However, you're engaging in the classic God of the Gaps fallacy. "You can't explain how it happened, so it must be god!" No. Our history as a species has been riddled with such claims, and at every turn a naturalistic explanation has been discovered. Illness used to be blamed on demons and/or bad karma. Now we know about germs and genetic abnormalities. Disasters used to be blamed on a god's anger. Now we know about weather, tides, tectonics, etc. There's absolutely no reason to think outlying cases like these won't be the same. Because, again, for every little girl that's 'miraculously' cured of some condition, there's scores more whose parents are just as devout, just as fervent in their prayers, who aren't cured at all.

Plus, well, there have been ample studies on the effect of prayer on the sick, and, well, the results are clear - there's no real net benefit on recovery.

Finally, you do know that the Daily Mail is a tabloid, right? It sensationalizes the shit out of everything.

You may have missed the point of the three examples. Each of them is defined by what they are not--entirely. You can't flip it around. If you ask what is 'light', darkness is not part of the definition. What positive descriptors do you have for darkness, evil or cold?

The first definition of 'darkness' is "partial or total absence of light." There are two others, however - one being a synonym for night, the other being "the quality of being dark in color."

Evil is "profoundly immoral and wicked." Note that there's no mention of 'good' anywhere in the definition.

Cold is "of or at a low or relatively low temperature, especially when compared with the human body." Note that it's not an absence of 'heat/warmth' but rather a comparison to our idea of what temperatures feel like relative to our own.
