Any sufficiently advanced technology would appear to be magic to less advanced civilization, or so some real smart author guy once said.

So...what *is* the difference between Holy Omnipotence and magic, anyway?

And Mr. Noodle...I don't disagree with your last statement. You've perfectly well stated the difference between Science and Religion as regards Creation. Now, let's teach one in Science classes and the other in philosophy classes. Extrapolating a theory from observable phenomenon is Science. Extrapolating a theory from an old bunch of writing is Religion, the study of which is related to Philosophy, Anthropology and Literature...but not Science.
