Such things as what? Supernatural/spiritual beings? Sure it's possible, however remotely. But just because people want them to exist doesn't mean they must exist.

As far as we can tell, the universe cares absolutely nothing about our existence. If the human race, or even the entire solar system, were to disappear right now, the universe would not even notice the absence. Some material might rush in over the next few centuries to fill in the empty space, but in the grand scheme of things we would not be missed.

Certainly it would be nice to believe that our lives have more meaning than that. It would be wonderful to know that humanity is a central force in the development of the universe, the end of a long line of evolution designed specifically to bring us into existence. It would also be nice to have Santa Claus drop by every winter to hand out gifts, or for little boys to be able to climb beanstalks into the land of the giants. The probabilities are about the same.
