Science without Religion is lame

Silly. "Any sufficiently advanced technology would be indistinguishable from magic."

Note: Technology. The item under review is an actual technology, it's not actually magic.

Note: "indistinguishable" does not mean it IS magic, just that the observer doesn't understand how it works. Ignorance is the key here. I'm very ignorant of string theory (namu amida butsu for that) and some alien technology millions of years ahead of us would be a PFM as well. Such mysteries do not mean magic has suddenly become a possibility, however, they just mean we don't know how they work. C.f. that cell phone in your pocket. Save a movie on it. Take that phone back to Benjamin Franklin, certified genius. Play it for him. He'll be amazed and freaked, but he won't have a clue how it works. But it doesn't work by MAGIC.

Sheesh.
