Nope. Doesn't work. Here is the most comprehensive study to date on it: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/03/31/health/31pray.html?ex=1301461200&en=4acf338be4900000&ei=5088&partner=rssnyt&emc=rss

depends on which prayers are answered.
If its a little prayer in which you can do something to help things along - well then you answered your own prayer.
If its a big prayer that you cant do anything to help, and nothing happens, then maybe you need to think about whether or not there is anyone available to answer it.
Instead you get told one of 2 things - 1 - That you dont have enough faith (which is cruel), or 2 - Gods answer is no.
How do they know what God said? Why is God telling them your answer instead of telling you?

Yes answered prayers do show that God Exists, some prayers are not answered because they are not what is best for us what we might think is good for us maybe totally different than what God thinks he is the one who looks out for us and know what is best for us.

Yes, but we have more proof than that. And often peoples prayers are not answered because they are not abiding in Jesus Christ, by loving Him enough to obey Him.
Sometimes ppl pray for things that God knows they shouldnt have. Thank God He knows best, hey?
Unanswered prayer doesnt mean you are less than. It only means you must ask why they arent answered, and then get back on track with God. obedience leads to blessing......And, be sure you ask for something that is in HIs will, and not your own.

Unfair question... Nothing can *prove* God. As for answers...

some answers are not answered because maybe it's not the right time for God to answer it. Maybe God have other plans for you.
The question is are you doing your part? are you doing what your supposed to do.
There's a time and reason for everything. Just be glad that your alive.
