does pray work? even to evolutionists?

Question

I am not christian,

But I believe in god , something or someone great .

I dont want attack evolutionists, but evolution theory has so many weak points.

they say we only deal physical aspect , soul or noble idea(love ,sympathy ) isnt our concern,

this is buls*h*i*t.

where our soul ( or noble feelings) comes from? answer is brain.

what is brain? physical biological organ.

then our soul must be related with so called physical aspect. the soul isnt all soulful its based on physical organ.

we can say our soul is physical phenomena

they must explain how humans could be so soulfully evolved. and if they are eager to find whole truth ,or real scientists they must try to explain all .

but they dont or cant or dont want.

my question is for both (christians and evolutionist)

whatt is pray? does it really work? Something superb really listens to if I do?

Answer 1

No, prayer doesn't work.

Answer 2

What exactly is prayer? Prayer is a way of focusing your mind on what you want. For example, you can read something but if you say it out loud, you are processing the information differently then just reading. Prayer works in the same way. You may know you have problems, but voicing it in "prayer" and focusing you energy in solving it does help some people. I am an atheist and I don't pray but I do see the value in people who use it to cut down on all they are thinking about to get help.

Answer 3

I like to think of it as a strong desire to achieve a goal.Having a positive attitude is key to achieving this magical communion with the aether. As to whether or not it works,absolutely.It works for all faiths to a certain extent.I believe the key to answered prayer is to not ask for something completely out of your own ability to achieve.As to some sort of higher power,if it makes you feel more secure to think that something besides yourself is listening and doing what you ask then so be it.Some even need this being to have someone to blame for failure and shortcomings.I personally think it is something that makes people weaker .Why lean on something that does not exist.Stand on your own,believe you can makes things happen, and they will.It is really that easy.

Answer 4

Evolution has far fewer weak points than you believe it does. If you did a thorough study on the subject and didn't just write it off, you'd see that.

As for prayer, there have been several studies done on the efficacy of prayer and guess what... all of them have failed with flying colors. Pray to anything you want, pray to a condom full of ball bearings and grape jelly, it will have exactly the same statistical effect as praying to god... i guarantee you that.

Answer 5

Prayer is a relationship between your inner self and the higher power than yourself. It works because it acknowledges our human needs that go beyond what nature can provide. It means you are never alone and never making decisions alone. More importantly than something or someone listening to you is that you will soon be the one who is listening.

Answer 6

Yes prayer works. Soul is an electrical pattern...an energy signature. We all have it. God is who created it.. Simple nuff for you???

Excuse one above me but Evolution has plenty of holes.

First.......What happened to the Neanderthal?

Second....If science says we nearly died out and we come from one woman in Africa 40,000 years how did Neandertal survive until 10,000 years ago?

Also how did people supposedly get to the Americas at that 40,000 year time period? Boats? I thought we come from one woman? Are we related to Neandertal? How do two species become separate? Who's to say we are not Neandertal? I can go back a lot further.

The point I am trying to make is you should just remember that it's a theory. You can prove the idea.....BUT you can not
say all it's parts are true. Evolution reminds me alot of Middle Age cures. Most were based in truth but the science of it did not hold up. Yes people are on to something with that THEORY but it is not FACT.

Answer 7

prayer is when you talk directly to jesus and ask him to meet your needs not your wants but your needs and yes it works i know people that have been healed from,cancer, and aids and have seen people i knew in wheelchairs walk thanks to god and the power of prayer in the bible when jesus was raiseing lazuras from the dead he ask the non believers to leave the room that lazuras was in and that is the problem now days the non believers the bible says if you have faith the size of a mustard seed your prayer will be awnsered ,and it also says that you must have faith so you must ask for your need and then claim your need and stand on faith that you recieved it ,,,

Answer 8

You should publish this brilliant essay. The insight! The eloquence! The cutting edge razor-sharp logic!

Anyone who would cling to evolution after seeing this wisdom-drenched gem must be able to read, or something.

Answer 9

Prayer is God's design for humans, who are His, to converse with Him. We are His children when we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior and brother.

Jesus' death on the cross, is the reason that Christians can go before God and have a personal relationship with Him.

Prayer really works. God hears us and answers, when we belong to Him.

The one exception for God's listening to our prayer, before we belong to Him, is when we invite Jesus into our hearts.

Answer 10

What weak points does evolutionary theory have? Please enlighten us.

Science deals with the physical, reality. Not with your feelings.

There is no evidence for a soul.

Prayer has been shown not to work in many studies.

Answer 11

There is no such thing as a soul. Evolution also doesn't explain the existence of fairies, that's not a weakness.
And no, prayer doesn't work.
