Based on EVIDENCE (which tends to guide one to truth far easier and more reliably than myth or imagination ever does), there is no reason to conclude that any of these things exist.

I will leave my religious views out of this thread... that said, the only flaw with your above statement are the MANY people out there that were convicted and placed in prison (even on death row) based upon all of the EVIDENCE, only to be exonerated and cleared of ALL charges later (sometimes MANY years later) based upon more CORRECT EVIDENCE...
So, I find we must be careful in assessing what is correct and how we portray that information. Sometimes, everything we think we know only shows we don't know everything (or perhaps nothing at all)... It is all individual, and as such, we should be careful about criticizing or ridiculing others for THEIR personal beliefs. They might just be the one that is right. Or not...
