But if you can make money appear out of a pot, why has no one ever demonstrated it happening? If someone has a charm that can make a person turn into a cat, it would be trivial to show that it works. > everything suddenly decided to exist all on its own and that people are really well-bred apes? Well they're the current theories with the best evidence. If someone can show me an alternative explanation for either that has more physical evidence and a compelling theory to explain it, I'm all ears.

> But if you can make money appear out of a pot, why has no one ever demonstrated it happening? It could be rare and conditional and the typical claim is it was demonstrated many times. What you are really asking is why can't it be reproduced ondemand with any condition. > If someone has a charm that can make a person turn into a cat, it would be trivial to show that it works. With many myths, it involves preconditions and activators. Not trivial. The underlying reason for the belief system is what sustains it, not the superficial activity you take at face value and evaluate against your way of thinking. > Well they're the current theories with the best evidence. If someone can show me an alternative explanation for either that has more physical evidence and a compelling theory to explain it, I'm all ears. Under your belief system where indviduals evaluate correctness of evidence and best theories are practically equivalent to fact that makes sense. Billions don't share your belief system but they do share a planet with you. Also, why would random people care about proving things to you, have yoy considered they just don't care if you accept their belief or not? Most of the time most believers of a belief system ask for respect and with that, for the curious they are open to explain it to you. Your pursuit of correctness and standards of reason can be different from others. Ultimately truth does not care what you believe but in your pursuit of truth, you must not consider others unworthy of your respect or understanding unless you have acheived knowledge of absolute and complete truth.
