Dude you just fail. Belief proves the cause of the belief in this universe. But the belief itself does not prove anything.
Bunch of people can see something that looks like a spaceship but it wasn't. They think it was a space ship. But it's not.
It is however what caused the belief. The people then created legend and said it was space ship.
Did it increase the probability of space ship flying? NO.

Why do you fail? I like you a lot so don't fail.
