"Why then do people put more credibility into allowing the possibility of God (agnosticism) than they allow the possibility of (say) fairies? Especially, since God is a far more extraordinary and incredible belief than elves?" Fairies are a creation. It is possible to examine the whole of creation to search for evidence of fairies. The doctrine of fairies indicates that there should be some physical evidence and some human experiential evidence to account for their presence. Such examinations reveal only the the source of such myths and account for the lack of physical evidence. In other words, they disprove the existence of fairies except as a source of fantasy. They have no particular impact on human beings except as an object for flights of fancy. The extraordinary belief in God is accountable by the extraordinary drive human beings have regarding order and purpose. God is not a creation and is not testable; as in "thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Order and purpose are attributed to God, giving God an essential role in the purpose, vision and Goals of man. The weight of importance that an agnostic should give to the "possibility" of God is far more than that of the possibility of fairies.
