Can prayer give us the truth? The mormons claim it can ,what do you think?

Can we all get the truth from prayer to see if the Quran, Bible, Book of Mormon, Torah, any number of religeous writings are God's word? Should it take a little more than our feelings to determine truth? How would you feel if one night the pilot of the plane you were aboard turned off all the insterments and just prayed to God for guidance. What if he prayed to a God that you don't belive in? How much creedence would you give a scientist that claimed that the evidence for his discovery is only avalible to those who pray to God with a sincere heart. Is this good clear reasoning or just the emperor new clothes again?! This type of thinking brings us flat-earthers Geocetrists, creation scientist and an anti-scientific anti-critical thinking mentality. Most churches don't want their members to think in clearly itical ways. This would undermine the faith of their followers. Why insist on some evidence. Why not just pray about the Book of Mormon........you think about it.
