Yes, there is much harder evidence than this. Many people pray, and many people get answers. The kind of answer they get might not be the truth. Have you not read how the Lord sent a lying spirit into the mouths of his prophets (1 Kings 22)? Read 2 Thess. 2:11 - "God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie." Consider the words of Jeremiah too: Jeremiah 14:14 (14) Then the LORD said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. Jeremiah 23:16-17 (16) Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. (17) They say still unto them that despise me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you. The Bible teaches us to judge what prophets say, because there have been many false prophets who have gone out into the world. If you want scientific, what about the Book of Abraham that Joseph claimed to have translated? At the time, the Egyptian language was not understood, but Joseph claimed to be able to translate it the same way he translated the Book of Mormon. Well, now we understand the Egyptian language, and when we look at the papyri that he had translated, they turn out to be funeral documents which were completely mistranslated by Joseph Smith. The images on the documents were damaged and Joseph Smith restored them incorrectly and misinterpreted the symbols on them. Is there any greater scientific proof than this that Joseph Smith was a fraud and a false prophet? Peace be with you.
