You still didn't answer my request.
Give one clear example of Jesus answering your prayers.

I was once a very devout christian and I can certainly say not one of my prayers have ever been answered, there is no divine intervention, only what you choose to see.
What is the difference?

Cmon.......did God really just say: "Let there be light" and that was it?
Does this not sound absolutely ridiculous?
Not plausible, it is still so stupid that its virtually impossible but it is still more plausible then God.

One day I was praying... and Jesus came up to me and said... "It's your turn to wash up!"
I was gutted... I was praying for an invisibility cloak...
God was NOT amused
:p

And let me add that there was light before there was the Sun. Same as how Cain had a wife when there were only 3 people in existence (according to the Bible). Its obvious the person who wrote Genesis indeed made it up as they went.
