Hi guys...
Just thought I'd post some random "deep thoughts" :) I've been having lately, I was talking over this with Gene, Kathy, and Stephi last week. I still find it pretty intriguing:

Quantum theory and prayer

Can God answer prayers for things that have already occurred? In other words, I pray that God would bless someone's exam only to figure out later than at the moment I had prayed for this person, they had already taken the exam.
If we truly believe that God is timeless, then we believe God could answer our prayers basically retro-actively. Let's just assume that for a moment.
But that then brings us to a very interesting point, similar to Schrodinger's Cat: As soon as we know whether or not God answered our prayer, God can no longer answer it (who ever heard of the past actually being changed because of his prayer?). So as soon as we figure out the actual answer to our prayer (yes or no), we have basically split off into the universe in which our prayer for the past has no relevance whatsoever any more, up until that point though we were in both worlds at the same time.

...

Uh, or God simply doesn't count prayer that are prayed after what is being prayed for. That's possible, too. :)
