Have they ever thought of the actions of others or themselves may of actually solved the problem not god. Or maybe it was chance that something happened. What about all the times he didn't answer?. Be thankful for your friends family, health professionals("answered" prays are usually related to health), they helped you or saved the life not god.That's the thing about having an inscrutable god that only ever works behind the scenes and in "strange and mysterious ways." Prayer always works! Did you get what you prayed for? Let's check the score sheet:
-YES: god answered your prayer!
-NO: god answered your prayer!
-NOT SURE: god answered your prayer!
See? Prayer works!!!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
