coulda done a barrel roll

He tried. Only got halfway through it.

lulz

Praying doesn't defy fundamental physics and logic is an instrument of malleable and persuadable perception, and if you were going to fortify your argument it was a mistake to use quantum physics as a point of defiance, considering its amassed flexibility. Praying isn't falsifiable nor empirical, so it's hardly irrational, it's whatever you make it.

no, its irrational.

the probability of something coming to fruition is vastly more likely when you physically work for the result you want vs "praying".

ever read the entire theory of probability?

obviously not if you think praying actually does something.

All of this bullshit banter about prayer and physics when the simple truth is luck played more of a part than anything. Mathfags and religionfags still get pissed when lady luck motorboats them in the face.

you cant look at a situation such as this and be like, oh hey a winged unicorn didnt swoop in and prevent this guy from crashing therefor prayer is illogical because it obviously has no immediate effect.

I could go into how prayer is illogical even for religious people, but I will say this, isnt safety equipment great?

you could say hes lucky that he didnt die, but i would argue that he is unlucky that his engine spontaneously combusted.

At least he crossed the finish line (:

The probability could be based on simply predetermined perception of reality and logic and cannot be empirical due to nonoccurrence of results, therefor each idea is fully speculative and holds no more tenor than the other. The fact that you are using the term "likely" leaves space for the existence of effective prayer, this in itself is contrary to irrationality. What's irrational is to negate specific non-empirical information as irrational and yet quote in non-empirical information as verity. It seems you have the illusion of arguing with someone that believes in prayer, in actuality you're arguing with an open mind.
