The Magic of Reality.
- Richard Dawkins.
1. What is reality? What is magic?
- Indeed, to claim a supernatural explanation of something is not to explain it at all and, even worse, to rule out any possibility of its ever being explained.
- To say that something happened supernaturally is not just to say 'We don't understand it' but to say 'We will never understand it, so don't even try.'
- What would you think of a detective who, baffled by a murder, was too lazy even to try to work at the problem and instead wrote the mystery off as 'supernatural'?
