Really?

I was reading this article from the Reuters earlier today, and I stared in shock at the start of the 2nd paragraph. It ran as follows: "The two-year-old octopus with possible psychic powers...."
Ok, hold on a minute. Yes, Paul the octopus did happen to "predict" the winner of 8 World Cup games, but that hardly seems to justify the use of the phrase "possible psychic powers." Never mind that the whole concept of psychic powers is absurd (and that the reference to them reveals something about the worldview of the reporter, a New Age and/or pagan worldview). The odds are 1/256 of picking 8 winners completely at random (as Paul obviously did). While unlikely, that certainly is possible. It is no different than flipping a coin 8 times and getting heads 8 times. It can happen because the sample size is so small.
I find it shocking that people are willing to believe that an octopus is somehow "psychic" because he happens to get lucky on 8 separate games, yet they are unwilling to believe in the existence of a Creator God when any study of nature reveals that it is highly, highly improbable that life as we know it could have evolved. The odds of any single system of the human body independently evolving is so much greater than an octopus getting 8 games correct. People are willing to believe that something supernatural allowed the octopus to beat the odds. Why aren't they willing to believe in something supernatural when it comes to life existing?
