A psychic comes up to me and says "Three days from now your cousin who lives in Alabama and who's name starts with a letter B will be struck by lightening at 3pm." And exactly 3 days later I hear that my cousin Bob from Alabama got stuck by lightening at 3pm. There are 2 possibilities: this was some sort of insane coincidence, or the person who gave me this info is exactly what they claim to be. I don't believe in psychics, but if that happened to me, I think it would be more likely that this person actually does have some sort of supernatural ability to see into the future, than for something like that to have been a complete coincidence.
It's more like this:
A psychic tells you that you and your three friends will meet the loves of your life in 3 days. Then the psychic introduces you to a man who she says is the love of your life. Based on the psychic's say alone you decide to marry the man and believe he is truly the man of your dreams. One of your friends does the same. But then the third friend doesn't, and refuses to believe the psychic is really psychic. Then you and your other friend tell her that she just refuses to see it! Even when the man the psychic introduces is clearly a dirtbag.
