ONCE AGAIN, if magic existed then there would be a sufficient body of evidence to support it. After all, magic isn't a new idea, and in fact the idea has been around for millennia. So, it's not like the idea is brand new and we're just getting around to speculating how to prove such a thing. (Note that that's a bit specious in the first place, since the idea of magic should have been prompted from evidence IN THE FIRST PLACE.)
In extreme contrast, there is NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER for magic. Modern claims of magic involvement are either:
· unproven and the circumstances look just like every other scam concocted throughout history
· unproven and can't be proven since the proponents act like con men and avoid proof
· unproven and don't survive methods of confirmation
When something as allegedly pervasive as magic ends up with ZERO evidence to support it, the matter summarily resolves itself: magic therefore doesn't exist.
