“According to some believers, God answers prayers in one of three ways: “Yes,” “No,” and “Wait.” This sounds reasonable and even wise before you realize that this explanation is inherently meaningless. In fact, those three answers cover every possible outcome of any event. Either it will happen now, it will happen later or it won’t happen at all. This is true whether you pray to a deity or to a bar of soap; it does nothing to prove the existence of a deity.”
