If God were answering the prayers of amputees to regenerate their lost limbs, we would be seeing amputated legs growing back every day.
Isn't that odd? The situation becomes even more peculiar when you look at who God is. According to the Standard Model of God:
* God is all-powerful. Therefore, God can do anything, and regenerating a leg is trivial.
* God is perfect, and he created the Bible, which is his perfect book. In the Bible, Jesus makes very specific statements about the power of prayer. Since Jesus is God, and God and the Bible are perfect, those statements should be true and accurate.
* God is all-knowing and all-loving. He certainly knows about the plight of the amputee, and he loves this amputee very much.
* God is ready and willing to answer your prayers no matter how big or small. All that you have to do is believe. He says it in multiple places in the Bible. Surely, with millions of people in the prayer circle, at least one of them will believe and the prayer will be answered.
* God has no reason to discriminate against amputees. If he is answering millions of other prayers like Jeanna's every day, God should be answering the prayers of amputees too.
Nonetheless, the amputated legs are not going to regenerate.
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
i like the beginning of the god delusion dvd, when dawkins is asking the guy at that place people go to for healing about documented miracles...there were something like 60 in over 100 years, with thousands visiting each year...but for some odd reason a limb was never grown back, all the 'miracles' were conditions that could have cleared up on their own anyhow.
Okay... let's just agree that god is actually a historical "alien" figure who inhabitited earth on a Interstellar Space Mission to populate this new planet, his arch was actually the USS Starship Enterprise full of species collected from different planets. He come's to earth artificially insiminates "the Virgin Mary" she gives birth to a baby jesus, without a dad. Jesus goes on to use Highly advanced technology to cure people, heal the leperds ( we bring people back to life all the time today, it's called heart failure, heart transplant) anyways, world war 1 rolls around and all this technology is lost, thus giving birth to the "Stone Age" in which man's only influence is his Historicly correct yet, incorrect interperetted bible.
