>Just because that prayer lead to a miracle in the past, doesn't mean you can demand that God grants the same miracle again in different circumstances.

Why not? If a god has shown that they can intervene in the physical world we live in, why shouldn't we be able to test that?




God does not obey your or anyone else's whim. The Quran says:

> He cannot be questioned about what He does, but they will ˹all˺ be questioned.

-- https://quran.com/21/23

I posted this lecture in another post, it's a good starting point: https://youtu.be/If3cNUixEBM


This assumes the presupposition that god exists and is real which, as is the entire point of this thread, relies on a belief without evidence. You can't use the actions of a "god" as evidence for the existence of that god without evidence of those actions.


Did you watch the lecture before claiming presupposition without evidence?


I'm not about to watch a 50 minute video to find out something that I already know. The entire premise of a biblical/textual god is based on the idea that there is no evidence and that's why "belief" and "faith" are required. Unless you have specific evidence, the initial statement stands.
