Hmmm. By that reasoning, I guess next time you lose your keys, you better not go looking for them. After all, you starting your car up might be a figment of your active imagination. ;-)
Perhaps I should have written:
'If one looks hard enough for anything, they will "find" it regardless of whether it is really there.' (note the quotes)
A conspiracy theorist can turn anything into "evidence" of a theory if they fixate upon it enough. A 4 year old that hopes to find a dinosaur in the woods will "find" one (ie a lizard, a misshapen tree, etc) if they try hard enough.
And if one looks very hard for an Ark, guess what they'll "find"...
That this "Christian Expedition" "found" an Ark is a testament to the power of the human imagination, not proof of its existence on a mountainside in Iran.
The next time I lose my keys I might "find" them, only to realize I've actually found something else that my mind wishfully mistook for my keys.
And, considering the state of my car's battery, the sound of it starting might still just be a figment of my imagination... ;-)
