Or maybe our universe is now on display in some hyperdimensional
children's museum, in the hands-on (or pseudopods-on) exhibit
wing, and it's up to the young (brood, hatchlings) to determine
which prayers are answered and which are not.
Yes, could be! Can't prove it's not ... it's not falsifiable.
Moreover, it is undeniable that unexpected things happens.
I keep being reminded of the anthropologist Roy Rappaport writing,
The unfalsifiable supported by the undeniable yields the
unquestionable. This transforms the dubious, the arbitrary, and
the conventional into the correct, the necessary, and the natural.
