There is no honest way to reverse engineer scientific findings into the bible (or the kerrang etc). At some point - sooner rather than later - you are forced to press the emergency eject button marked "magic".

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

It's like the time that someone (I forget who) managed to identify Moses as Middlebury, by using the complex and arcane scientific formula of removing the -oses and substituting the -iddlebury.
