DiscoDan,

Your proof is flawed due to a few reasons.

1) You assume that the answering of prayers is caused by God an no other. There are people here who believe that by simply believing in something (such as praying) will cause it to become reality. Based on the proof given, it is still possible that prayers are answered by something other than God.

In order to substantiate your proof, you also need to prove that prayers are only answered by God and no other.

2) Your second statment has no bearing on the first statement. What does you not praying have to do with prayers being/not being answered? The active action of praying is being tested, not the passive action of not praying.

This, of course, does not mean that I do not believe in God.
