[ArGee]

Mrs. ArGee is reading "The Screwtape Letters" again as she is leading a Bible Study with it. She was reading about the "Materialist Magician" this weekend and asked me if I thought we'd reached that point yet.

I don't really think so, but Lucas was clearly onto the materialist magician with his Force and Jedi Knights/Sith Lords. Our scientists are getting very close to worshiping their results rather than just observing and reporting. So I thought I'd ask this group of experts.

What say ye? Have we reached the point where we have materialist magicians yet?

If not yet, we are very close to it.

As a sidebar to the question, I highly recommend G. K. Chesterton’s play “Magic: A Fantastic Comedy.”
