Quote by: ItsDarts 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).

Then that would be Option C. but then if more wishes were not coming true, then it would sorta cancel out the old saying that your wish will come true if you wish upon one.

I meant successes as in most people when wishing for things, tend to wish for something that bennifits themselves or others, and if those wishes came true and they benifited from that wish, then I would dub that a success..... be that a roof over their head, food, a loved one returning, etc.

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.

A beaver damn is considdered part of a beaver's nature to create and survive.

A bird makes a nest for shelter and raising offspring.

An Otter or Chimp will use rocks or sticks as tools to gain better access to food.

All of these things could be argued that they are part of their natural instincts that they developed over the centuries...... therefore in my opinion, anything and everything we create and use is natural to our human species, no matter how fabricated.

Also, how do we know all of the things that burned up in our atmosphere were naturally occuring in space? There could be the possibility of some other forign object from somewhere else that burned up in the atmosphere which someone wished on.

----------------------------------------

Now this whole concept of wishing on stars, I am basing in this discussion as something of fact. I know it isn't, but I'm playing on the notion that so many people after so many centuries still hold to this folklore for some reason... and that only reason I can conclude is that perhaps some people's wishes have come true in the past.

Most likely due to coiencidence, but for argument sake, I'm just gonna go with it being fact for this exercise.
