Experiment #2
Let us assume that God is real, and that his promises in his holy book are honest and true. What would happen if we get down on our knees and pray to God in this way:
Dear God, almighty, all-powerful, all-loving creator of the universe, we pray to you to cure every case of cancer on this planet tonight. We pray in faith, knowing you will bless us as you describe in Matthew 7:7, Matthew 17:20, Matthew 21:21, Mark 11:24, John 14:12-14, Matthew 18:19 and James 5:15-16. In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.
We pray sincerely, knowing that when God answers this completely heartfelt, unselfish, non-materialistic prayer, it will glorify God and help millions of people in remarkable ways.
Will anything happen? No. Of course not.
This is very odd. Jesus makes specific promises in the Bible about how prayer is supposed to work. Jesus says in many different places that he and God will answer your prayers.
We are therefore left with a quandry; either the bible is false and prayers don't work that way (if this is true, how can we assume anything in the bible, or any other holy text, is true?), or, prayers do not work because there is no God to hear us (Occams Razor works nicely here), or, if there IS a god, then he chooses to not answer the prayer in direct contravention of what his only chosen son; a manifestation of himself; promised. (God is a liar and cannot be trusted).
One of those explanations; by simple inductive reasoning, must be true. Which one? Or, perhaps you have an alternative explanation?
I can produce more evidence for the existence of UFO's than for God, and I don't believe in those either.
