Blowing Scientists Minds

[Ben Davis]

Let C(x) be the complexity of the scientific explanation for event x
Let L(y) be the complexity limit for theist y
Let E(x,y) be the explanation from theist y of the event x
Let m be magic

Then it's easy to show:

E(x,y) = {x when C(x) <= L(y); m otherwise}

That's basically Arthur C. Clarke's 3rd law - with science in place of technology.

Don't give away his sources!
