But it's entirely up to his Will whether he obeys them or not. So...he will only even have a chance of obeying your prayers if you put your hands together, or demonstrate it in your way? I don't get that because: Why do you even need to bother praying, if he can read your mind? He knows your wishes. And he knows if you're sincere or not in your wanting them, and if they're justified or not.

So is it just a coincidence then, that the placebo effect is never shown, and any reported "miracles" are never shown, to ever heal amputees? I guess it's not on God's Agenda? Either he doesn't care about that, doesn't see it as a priority, or it's something he can't do, meaning he's not omnipotent, right?
And indeed, when a person is very sick, a placebo effect alone won't do any good. That's where science comes in.
