That's what I mean when I say I understand Drich's position.
I understand what he wants to make of it, but not how it can really work.

Not that you actually understand the force, or a warp drive, or a ringwraith. Drich....on the other hand...is not referring to made up things, at least...that's his position on the matter.
The god part is, as far as I know, the same sort of magic/made up stuff.... it's just older.
Aye, right.... but he is referring to made up things... he's just not aware of it.
