I DO understand your point, and I'm not just opposing you for the hell of it. You think it possible that the tooth fairy could be real, I don't, this makes me deluded, what else can I really say?
Quote:You are simply moving the goalposts here. Of course, a "fictional" tooth fairy cannot be real, but the point is, what if not all tooth fairies are fictional?
You have to assume that there could be an "all tooth fairies" in the first place, in order to theorise that they might not all be fictional. There is no evidence for any tooth fairy at all so why even bother going down that road? The only tooth fairy we know of is the fictional one in books, and that we play out.
This is the only one we can talk about, and obviously this same creature cannot be fictional and real. If it was two different creatures in two different places it could be fictional and real, but it would also be two different creatures anyway.
So really, can it be illogical for me to talk about the one we know about and say it is fiction, and it cannot be real?
If I go to Mars and find a Cheetah like creature, does it make it a Cheetah? (If you rule out direct relation to the creatures on earth).
Quote:You cannot prove that all tooth fairies are fictional, just because the only places we currently find them are in fiction. It's an illogical argument.
What is this "all tooth fairies" that you talk about?
And I don't really need to prove that the fictional tooth fairy isn't real do I?

Because they are fictional.
Are they?

Which bit of "it's a deer" don't you understand, then?
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
