Something not happening isn’t proof that it doesn’t happen or can’t happen. If anything it’s only proof that if that thing could happen, we don’t yet understand how.
Would you apply this rationale to things besides magic and religion? Do you generally believe that if something doesn’t happen the way you expect it, when you expect it, then it can never happen?
I don’t understand the need to respect other people’s fantasies. Can you explain why that’s important? And not, say, akin to respecting an adult that still believes in Santa?

Ok, let me rephrase for OP.
Magic might exist.
YOUR specific definition of magic doesn’t exist.
I don’t believe in magic or religion lol. I just prefer to be open minded, respectful, and logically consistent. You should try it.
