Lol, no I didn't learn that in church, but what I did learn is that the Devil has power over the earth (as of now) and *lends* power to anyone whom would further his goals.
So, that's the theory of devil magic.
I don't believe in real magic either.
I simply mean that the difference between alchemy and science (or as said before - chemistry) is this.
You think on this scale
Alchemy = Science
But Alchemy is a mixture of science and magic. so...
Magic = Alchemy / Science (I like algebraic expressions -_-)
Science = Alchemy / Magic
Alchemy = Science * Magic
or Alchemy = A mixture of Science and magic
now do you see why alot of christians who go to the church lose all believe in god and think it's all bs?
ok let's play your game tsu
if the devil has power over the earth why doesn't mr devil finish the work (takes over, kills stuff so on)
you'll now say god this god that
so, if god this and that, why doesn't god stop the devil from "lending powers"
say he can't do that for some reason, why doesn't he "lend powers" to goodie good people to make the world .. less horrible? -.-
Science = Alchemy / Magic
yes you are right
Science= bullshit/bullshit
bullshit= X
X/X = 1
Science = 1. (meaning it's true)
Alchemy = Science * Magic
Alchemy = 1* bullshit
Alchemy = bullshit.
still all true.
Magic = bullshit / 1
so magic= bullshit
well.. there you have it, maths just proved itself.
