Sometimes true, sometimes false.
A chair exists because someone conceived the idea in his mind and built it. My mind can conceive the development of very different lifeforms developing on the earth in a very short time, but I can't make these lifeforms exist.

See, I told you people I have an invisible pink unicorn with purple spots in my garage. He is all-knowing and all-powerful, everywhere and nowhere (except in my garage), beyond space and time yet inside both. No one believed me but if my mind can conceive it, it can exist!

I think it is the stupidest idea ever conceived by the mind.

I think it is silly science fiction.
I can conceive of a pink, living unicorn with a nascent horn, but ... how can it exist?

Nice, poetic, a heart warming notion of the power of the human mind.
A factual statement? No.

I keep thinking about a chest full of gold, gems, and party favors, but it has yet to exist.

I think the phrase is only true when used in the appropriate context. It's certainly not always true.
