Something I read recently said God only has obligation to answer Christians prayers (prayers such as asking for something) but can answer non-christian prayers of the same sort.
I think that God will answer prays (such as asking Him to reveal Himself, talking to Him) of non-christians if they are genuine (ie: not thinking stuff such as ' I dont think theres a God so lets prove it wrong by praying and seeing that nothing happens' or praying for God to make stuff float
)
I'ld bet good money everything you believe in doesn't have scientific data, just experience or reason or taking things as they appear.
I don't think you can simple call it a fallacy when it could actually be the case that it is true. Is it not circular reasoning to say I dont believe it because its not true which is why I dont believe it. Your saying it is wrong because it is what it is.

Genuine prayers are answered? Ha! That's called the No True Scotsman fallacy.
