I'm sure people will say god does it better, because only he can give something a soul, or that he can poof one up from nothing, while we use what their god gave us. Whatever they can still hold on to for their god to remain special.
Haha, so true! I tell my husband he's a magician, as far as I'm concerned. He did take Defense Against the Dark Arst, after all.
It's become a running joke to say "Lumos!" every time someone turns on a flashlight.
People really do take technology for granted. What we do now every day would absolutely be seen as godlike (or black magic) if we took it back 1000 years. I try hard not to take it for granted. I am absolutely TICKLED by new technology. When motion activation fist came out, I giggled for MONTHS every time I used it or saw it used. We can do some amazing things!
It's too bad the majority are more like Kim Kardashian than Bill Nye. We need better, and more, education!
