The force is strong: Amputee controls individual prosthetic fingers
Date: December 11, 2017
Source: Georgia Institute of Technology
Summary: Luke Skywalker's bionic hand is a step closer to reality for amputees in this galaxy. Researchers have created an ultrasonic sensor that allows amputees to control each of their prosthetic fingers individually. It provides fine motor hand gestures that aren't possible with current commercially available devices.

People prayed for technology to do what God couldn't?

Maybe God could levitate items for amputees?

Have the religious folks tried praying for that?

Once again I'm wondering if "they are doing it right" . . . . .
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

They could pray for things to stay exactly where they are, and then claim a miracle Dodgy

Because it's considered a sin to actually use your prayer powers to save a bunch of random strangers out of nothing more than the good of your own heart. That's why they don't volunteer in hospitals.

Why don't they do it for cash? Because money is a sin don't you know! Being a shitty person all 'round isn't . . . unfortunately.
