    FAITH, and it has nothing to do with religion. If you believe in yourself and others than FAITH will always prevail.

    If you are considering earthly power I would suggest - water; in its various forms especially when it seeps into rock or stone and then turns to ice where it has the power to expand and spit the strongest. The torrential rain we have had lately has shown how water can wash away strongly constructed roads, houses and bridges.

    However, the power of prayer can change an individuals life and have a positive impact upon people all over the world.

    None of the above. To me the greatest power on Earth is Human Enlightenment, For with it, All of Humanity can truly change for the better.

    It is the earths molten core, it's always moving and shifting, it moves continents around, it shapes our ocean currents, its what made the Himalayan mountains, its the reason for some of the earths climate, and it has caused mass extinction. 2There also is the tenacious life that somehow finds ways to evolve and survive on earth. Both are powerful you chose which is more. The three you listed aren't even close.

    I would say emotion as this can be a combination of prayer, military and competitive economics

    You have GOT to be kidding. Prayer is no way in league with anything else. The real answer is, LOVE. LOVE is the greatest power, period.

    I think it's the power to forgive one's enemies, if you're speaking only of human powers.

    If you wish to include plants and animals, I then would have to say that - given how much man has tried to destroy them - the power of plants and animals to survive is among the greatest powers on Earth. -RKO- 06/21/07

    The Spirit of God. It is hard to define and requires faith see.

    Everything you are seeing in today's confusing world were prophesied 2,000 years ago.

    Mortal man has a huge problem seeing this and I can only see it by faith in that which I read.
