don't pick on the personal interpratations of prayer...any truly logical person cannot rule out the existence of God. If you think you can, you haven't really thought things out. Go as far back as you want to with science or any other theories that you may have and they all run out of juice at some point. After that you are left with no answers except for one. Take all religions aside and really think about it. The parts of the Universe that we are able to perceive are very limited but expanding every day. The more we learn, the more we realize that science does not contradict the existence of God but enforces it.
