Just read Agnostic.com`s question on FB "Do you believe in magic?" Not as cut and dried as we might imagine. Consider this, nearly everybody has at some point in time expressed a belief in magic. By which I mean that we all have tried to influence something which we could not rationally do. For example a ball that has already been struck (either by ourselves or someone else), a traffic signal or a horse race. Now most of us will rush to a post-rationalization explanation of our behavior. Saying this is just an emotional response but I do not think so. Intellectually we know that our shouts or impeachments have no validity but belief is not knowledge. In our core subconscious we "believe" (at that moment) we are changing the future. Just observe the events and our responses. If they are favorable we cry "Yes, Yes, Yes" or "No ,No you b*stard " anthropomorphising any inanimate object that will not bend to our will.
