Whats more funny is your belief in the invisible dragon that serves omlets.
All fictional things made up by man do not exist. Dragons do not exist, unicorns do not exist, leprachuans do not exist, gods on Mount Olympus do not exist. What you have trouble understanding is the difference between fictional make believe and made up things that are possible. I could say that Joe Smith lives in New York and likes to eat apples. Even though I made that up it very well could be true. However, if I say that a invisible unicorn lives on the Eifel Tower and shoots lighting bolts out of his a$$, that statement cannot be true.
Just to humor myself, do you think that unicorns and leprachuans exist? What about leprachuans that ride unicorns?

Egh.. I don't know why I'm still arguing with you...
"All fictional things made up by man do not exist."
Look ok. There's no way using LOGIC to tell if something made up is fictional or not unless you have the proof.
Saying that the possibility for something exists is NOT the same thing as saying something exists absolutely. If I say I live in Canada, I could have just made that up, but the possibility still exists because as long as a possibility has not been PROVEN wrong, it still exists... I'm NOT saying it exists because it hasn't been proven, I'm saying the POSSIBILITY exists.
Now taking it a notch further, If I say I have purple eyes, I could have made that up, and you could maybe say that it's not true because you've never seen humans with purple eyes, but just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, and you can't prove that humans can't develop purple eyes, and so it's still possible because you don't know. I don't have to prove anything to you, because as long as you can't prove it wrong, it's still a possibility, and that's all we're talking about here; possibilities.
Who are you to know what's 100% fictional and what's not? You don't know all the secrets of the universe, and you don't know shit.
You're saying, at some point there's a line, and that if something is too farfetched, then it's definitly not possible. I got news for you, everyone thought it was hella farfetched to be able fly in the past, but we sure hells proved them wrong with planes. Don't you think they thought of flying technology like you do of unicorns and leprecons? What if we find a unicorn fossil in the near future, what will you say? Because you just said that they DON'T exist, yet here they are with proof for unicorns in the near future which means there was the possibility when you stated that. See where I'm going? It's basic logic, and you can't put a line just because you think something is too farfetched, that doesn't mean you have to believe it just because the possibility is there. I think it's possible that a bird might crap on me when it's flying overhead, does that mean I'm gonna cower everytime that happens? No of course not, because it's just a possibility. If I choose to take cover every time one flies overhead, well that's just being precautious...nothing wrong with that. it's not like I waste that much effort.
Sure I'll humour you. Do I think unicorns exist? I have seen no proof indicating that it doesn't, thus it's possible, just like it's possible that it doesn't exist. Do I think it's likely? No. Same thing with leprecons. Do I think leprecons ride unicorns. I've never seen it, but I've never seen any proof indicating that it's not possible. This scenario is very unlikely however, to the point of having almost 0% probability.. however, logically it's still possible as long as that infinitely small fraction of possibility exists. And any scientist would tell you the same. You're being very unreasonable.
