Fair enough.

This is kinda like a Pot of Gold question.... where there isn't really an answer to prove, but just to get the brain going.

I'm tossed up on the common definition... I mean, I understand it to be logical that if we are producing more "falling stars" then there are more wishes to be made.

But on the flip side, they're man made "falling stars" and not natural occurances anymore, as they are from ourselves.

But I guess it could also be a rubics cube view, where there is another side to flip. Are man made "Falling Stars" Natural, since we humans are in a sense, Natural Beings, since we are only doing what naturally comes to us? This would cancel out the whole Unatural Theory, therefore leaving only Option B. as the most logical choice.
Well B also leaves us with this.... You said in B, "more wishes being made, due to more falling stars, therefore more success?" And I'm not clear on what you mean by success, but if you mean more wishes coming true, it also leaves room for more failures (wishes not coming true). Also, I have a problem with your definition of "Natural". Yes we are "Natural" but poop containers would be arguably not natural. Once egg and sperm join together, we form naturally, but put two natural elements together and you might not get anything. At some point, elements need help being "joined" and even after that, they will need more help to form even more complex molecules. Can we say Plastic is natural? My personal thought is no, it requires mans help and we have to decide at what point something is natural or not.
