Yes, I'm sure the grand creator of the universe puts his plans on hold at our whims, and that our telepathic hotline to said creator is required to inform him of our desires.
And I'm sure those "answers" would not have happened anyway. I remember when I was young and superstitious I wished for things all the time. And some of those wishes came true, many years later. Irrefutable proof of a (lazy) guardian genie, or probability over time? None of my demands for the laws of physics to be suspended in my favour where met.
