If I believe something exists, that does not mean I am right and it
exists. It may indeed, not exist.
On the other hand, if I don't believe something exists, and it
indeed does, my denial does not stop it from existing.
Not necessarily. Read some quantum physics. There is something
called the observer effect. In many experiments the universe acts
the way the observer expects it to act. You can not observe anything
without altering it. In a very real way, each of us exists in his/
her own unique universe.
