I said that in early 2012. Wow, a blast from the past huh! Actually I don't remember posting that but I remember this thread.

 

I don't even know what I was saying. Oh well.

No worries, we've all been there done that. I certainly have!

So wow, I really dug up a tombstone thread! I guess I was thrown off by the closeness of month and day... and I kinda forgot the year. Oops.

 

Heavens no, only close-minded people think that, not suggesting you are. Science only increases the magic.

No offense, but this seems like a pretty near-sighted viewpoint, if only because you're calling someone else close-minded about this.

Ever heard of Aurthur C Clarke's "Laws"? "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

This doesn't mean that they are the same, only that they are indistinguishable from each other at a high enough level.

I thought about this subject last night, and found this thread today and just wanted to share. I'm already using these in a story...

Honesty = Deceit

Laughter = Anguish

Generosity = Greed

Loyalty = Treachery

Kindness = Malice

Magic = Entropy (or Science, if you like)

I'm thinking Entropy (high entropy, really) is probably going to be a tough sell for most people, though...
