I like how you chose to ignore the part of my post that you should have tried to wrap your brain around. I'll repeat it just for you.



How about you show us all just one thing that was determined to have been caused by magic, then I'll start to consider magic as an answer to other questions.

What do you perceive "magic" to be?

Define "magic" as you perceive it to be

If you were to somehow fly a spaceship to some planet and discover a complex language/code more elegant and precise than anything mankind could ever possibly envision within the power of his own brain, would you call that magic? What would you call it?

Magic = supernatural forces.

I would call it something that I don't yet understand.

What's a "supernatural force"? Elaborate

You wouldn't understand it to be something creatively and intelligently brought into existence? Why wouldn't you call it "magic" if you didn't know the exact fashion in which it was formed?

No, because you already know the answer.

Why would I call it magic? I don't know how the exact fashion in which a jet engine is formed, that doesn't mean I think it's magic.

I don't actually. Please enlighten us all.

What would you call it? Why do you selectively apply the term magic to things that you don't understand?

You do, so no.

I told you what I would call it. Something I don't yet understand. I don't apply the term magic to ANYTHING, because there has been no evidence to suggest that it is real.

Don't dodge. Explain yourself
