No scientific proof...do you believe?

I came across a website (real-wishes.com) saying that if you submit a wish and it comes from the heart your wish will be granted.
It works from the power of the number 8 and 11:11.
I think a lot of it also works on the secret system.
I do believe in things like this as I don't think science has an answer for everything, I am trying this site. I finding I'm seeing 11:11 everywhere since submitting my wish, I have never seen it before and it's not something I am deliberatly looking for...odd!
I am curious to know weather scientist ever believe in things like this. I know scientist find it difficult to just believe in something without scientific proof.
So scientists...what are your thoughts?

Re: No scientific proof...do you believe?

That page has nothing to do with wishes being granted (who is granting them, by the way?) but everything to do with an attempt at viral marketing.

Re: No scientific proof...do you believe?

OK. Went there and submitted a wish. I submitted that I wish real-wishes.com will completely disappear from the internet. If it's still there after 8 days you'll know its a GREAT BIG HOAX!

Well, wish in one hand and spit in the other, see which one fills up first!
