Magic was the branch off the evolutionary religious tree which eventually bore the fruit of a scientific age. Belief in astrology led to the development of astronomy, belief in a philosophers stone led to the mastery of metals, while belief in magic numbers founded the science of mathematics.
Scientists may measure the energy, or force manifestations of graviation, light, and electricity, but these same scientists can never (scientifically) tell you what these universe phenomena are. When Einstein saw the warp in space time he did not see gravity, he saw the effect gravity has on space time. The T.O.E. will be realized when we have a better understanding of what gravity actually is.
Science deals with physical-energy activities; religion deals with eternal values. There always exists the danger that the purley physical scientist may become afflicted with mathematical pride and statistical egotism, not to mention spiritual blindness.
Science lives by the mathematics of the mind. Religious experience is something in human life which is truly supermathematical.
"The entire science of mathematics, the whole domain of philosophy, the highest physics or chemistry, could not predict or know that the union of two gaseous hydrogen atoms with one gaseous oxygen atom would result in a new and qualitatively superadditive substance--liquid water. The understanding knowledge of this one physiochemical phenomenon should have prevented the development of materalistic philosophy and mechanistic cosmology."
