In his essay, The Efficacy of Prayer, C.S. Lewis wrote, “What sort of evidence WOULD prove the efficacy of prayer? The thing we pray for may happen, but how can you ever know that it was not going to happen anyway? Even if the thing were indisputably miraculous it would not follow that the miracle had occurred because of your prayers. The answer surely is that a compulsive empirical proof such as we have in the sciences can never be attained.”
