If everyone prayed at the exact same time...

If everyone prayed at the exact same time for a apple to appear from thin air do you think the apple would appear??

edit: Not sure where this thread belongs...

A lot of people might think one would appear, but it won't actually happen.

Depends. Somebody could throw one your way. One might fall off a nearby tree; roll down a nearby hill.

This thread best fits Senseless banter.

But then that person wouldn't be praying.
And the apple will still have appeared.

OH SHI-

No. I don't think it will.

The world is full of apples. Are none of them good enough for you?

**nitsuJ** · 09-19-2008 07:40 PM

DOES SCIENCE ALLOW FOR AN APPLE TO APPEAR IN THIN AIR?

FUCK NO.

So the answer is simply, no.

**Photolysis** · 09-19-2008 07:54 PM

FUCK NO.

Actually, I seem to remember that there is a theory in physics that states that matter may spontaneously appear. I suppose it's also possible that a whole bunch of random photons could colide to produce matter, which just happens to take on the form of an apple.

But in all likelihood, you'd be here for trillions of trillions and trillions of years. And it still wouldn't have happened.

So, technically yes, but so unlikely that the numbers involved become meaningless to most.

If everyone prayed at the exact same time for a apple to appear from thin air do you think the apple would appear??

If every child wished at the exact same time that Santa would appear from thin air, do you think Santa would appear?

That happens every year :V
And Santa appears often.

But then some asshole pulled the beard off.

Worldwide human productivity would be at an all time low.

Hold your digimon to the sky and wish for them. Wish for them with all your might. If you wish hard enough, Magikarp will appear.

There would be LOTS of plane crashes, car accidents and people choking to death.

Theoretically it's possible for all the atoms in the earth heavier than hydrogen to simultaneously fission, producing an explosion powerful enough to destroy the system. But it's so unlikely that in the history of a trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion trillion universes it probably won't happen even once.

**nitsuJ** · 09-19-2008 11:18 PM

I'd rather not pray for apples and say I did.

**Robot_Butler** · 09-19-2008 11:34 PM

What if everyone prayed at the exact same time for prayer to no longer exist? Wait, wasn't that what happened at the end of The Sphere?

Magikarp is a pokémon.

**EchoSun13** · 09-20-2008 01:53 AM

I hope, I love apples...Ha!!

Well maybe or maybe not, God's head may explode!!!!!

**really** · 09-20-2008 06:43 AM

I'm eating an apple right now.

They grow off trees you know... What ignorance...

**EchoSun13** · 09-20-2008 06:59 AM

Ha trees..Really?

**Dreamhope11** · 09-20-2008 08:36 AM

I know it's stupid to say everyone praying at the same time, but lets just assume it.

Lets just assume it isn't stupid to assume that everyone is praying at the same time, but lets assume that thinking praying does anything at all is stupid.

Seriously, prayer, doesn't work. Of course it doesn't. Why the hell would it. Even if there was a god. Which there isn't. If god doesn't cure cancer if dozens of people pray, why would the fucking make an apple appear? Seriously. Nooooooooooooo.

Exactly God can only do things that don't take away having faith in him, because if he is proven to exist it wont be faith to believe in him obviously.

I had a girlfriend for 7 years that claimed she could speak in tongues. But she'd never show me because it was "against the rules", or some crap.

Clearly she realised I would mock her as soon as she started, or at least laugh uncontrollably. So glad to be rid of her.
