If Allah has a plan, what is the point of Dua?

[robvalue]

If someone knew something that seemed incredible, or an event happened which I couldn't explain, I'd say "Wow, that's really interesting. Let's see if we can find out an explanation for this." Until such time as an explanation supported by evidence was found, I would file it under "unexplained".

No amount of "unexplained" reports combine to make a "magic" report or a "God" report. It is just an indication that we don't know everything. No one is claiming that we do.

Just like a hundred flawed arguments don't make a solid argument. A million anecdotes don't make one bit of hard data. A trillion coincidences don't establish your personal favourite magical explanation.

Try saying, "I don't know". It's a liberating phrase. Religion is cashing in repeatedly on people's discomfort with those three words.
