@ Ace: QED

(August 28, 2010 at 10:20 am)The Omnissiunt One Wrote: Christianity claims that God answers prayers and performs miracles. These things are empirically verifiable. No evidence has been found that prayer is effective, and no miracle has been proven beyond reasonable doubt to be supernatural.
To know what the answer to any prayer should be would require you to know what God is thinking. As presumably you nor anyone yet who has tried to test the efficacy of prayer has enough knowledge to decide if the prayer has been answered or not, you cannot have proven anything either way. Am I right?
