[Magic, Religion, Science] Each one of these world explain differently the things around us. The questions asked and the answers given in each of those worlds are completely different.
When lightning strikes a tree and kills the man sitting under it, a man believing in magic will explain it as a super-natural event that happened to that man. A religious man will interpret the event as a punishment cast by God on the man who broke his rules.
The scientist, however, will explain that, because the tree is the best reciever around, the lightning struck it and burned it, and the man sitting underneath it was hit because of ignorance, since he should have known that he mustn’t be there.
