I do understand that most sci-fi tech is rooted in mystery or guesses, but that is no reason not to have it. People use their imaginations and come up with things. That's how we work.

And what exactly is wrong with that?

At least in Tolkien's stuff, there is (as far as I have read) actually very little magic involved in anything. Yes, Gandalf is a wizard, but he still usually uses a sword like most other people. He does use magic, but surprisingly rarely. He uses it to set pine cones on fire, create light, and remove Saruman's power. That's kind of all I can think of at this time.  (I do realize that this is just a single example, but Gandalf is probably the one to use magic most prominently.)

If I understand what you mean by the last two sentences, I do not think that that is too far wrong, but I really don't think that that has much bearing on this discussion.

I apologize for the rant, but that is my take on, and refutations for, your points, Anon. ? I am not saying that there's anything wrong with anything. I only mentioned my take on how the middle age's magic is today's sci-fi. Of course, not taking into consideration the fact that we have both in this world.

By honestly, I simply meant that it is my honest opinion- the rant is nice, and you do mention some good points. My final question is rather rhetorical, since we honestly could never know:

My english isn't great, especially when I talk in rhetoric, but for the most part, my personal rant is mostly a monoloque rather than a debate.
