Praying is an attempt to influence probability in coming events, I am pretty convinced now that the nameless God of the ancient monotheist Hebrews is Probability itself.

That nameless monotheistic Hebrew God is non other than probability. One prays to influence inevitable coming events and their outcomes. If you were going to give probability a name and anthropomorphize it I guess you could call it good luck but that would not include other kinds of luck including bad luck and no luck at all. There are good luck gods in plenty of other religions. If you were not going to name one it would be because it was the embodiment of probability. That may not sound very scientific but considering the number of times people around the world pray every minute of every day it actually maybe an important insight. It is sort of the same type of analogy the string theory believers are found of using . String theory is an analogy type of science and it has something in common with conditional probability as a major underlying dimension of cosmic reality. String theory actually has less science and mathematics behind it. Maybe you can calibrate various strings with frequency and wave but that is pretty arbitrary. Probability can easily be calculated in advance knowing as many of the known or knowable variables on the onset of any attempts. Praying is the magical thinking hoping for a favored or more favored outcome rather than just any outcome. Still knowing there is a multiplicity of possible outcomes is entirely different than saying a string in some tone or frequency is going to match. We can calculate the probability of life existing on earth sort of but can't say it evidences itself because of harmonics in nature.
