[quote=Anonymous]I would like to try, even though it's argument unsupported by experience, to resurrect the idea that prayer can help good things to happen. To anyone who has studied Christian theology, it is undeniable that God knew everything that was going to happen since the dawn of time. Therefore, God sees time as one eternal present. But that's not how we see it. God has known since the dawn of time who was going to pray and who was not. But that's not how we, as mutable beings, perceive it. To us, it appears that we have a choice about whether to pray or not. It may be that God created time in such a way that those whom he created to be people who pray get their prayers answered. There is absolutely no evidence for this and doesn't comport to my experience, but I suppose it's possible. [/quote]
