Prayer you say. Do you know of any time in the history of planet Earth where that's worked?

@angelo as a hospice nurse for many many years, yes I have seen it work. If you don't have faith no one can give it to you...it's your loss. For many of us this is a time to seek comfort.

@Dmwils that's really great if that brings comfort to some people. Especially at the end, or close to death. It makes their passing so much more pleasant to themselves and perhaps their loved ones.

@angelo yes. Many many times. The battle of Lepanto, my daughter's remarkable recovery from kidney failure and more events than I will ever realize.

@angelo. With all due respect, I have seen prayer work, when there was no other rational explanation. I am a skeptical mechanical engineer, who must always speak carefully to maintain credibility in my profession, so I never say anything I have not witnessed personally, or am sure about in some verifiable way, such as by someone like myself, who I trust to be absolutely truthful. I don't believe photographic evidence of reflections are proof of UFOs. I don't believe in conspiracy theories. I HAVE witnessed miracles.

@TimTuolomne. I'm sorry mate, but until I see scientifically proven evidence to the contrary. I remain skeptical of any supernatural claims.
Remember, extraordinary claims,require extraordinary evidence.

@angelo. I have no problem with your point of view sir.

@angelo it is not up to us to force your acceptance of faith..It is up to you to seek out the Lord.

@Dmwils They seek here, they seek him there but he/she is nowhere to be found except in the deepest recesses of certain people's imagination.

@angelo "they seek here and they seek there" does not work..you must seek him for yourself. Faith isn't bought at the store..it is in you. You have faith in many things you cannot see, faith in God is the same.
