Pardon my intrusion!

I've been here for a few weeks now and I've been wondering... With all of us from different worlds, with different realities to ground us, I imagine that we use these terms differently. So...

What do the words 'magic' and 'science' mean to you?

For me, 'science' is about explaining the world around you through experimentation and testing. People use science to claim that they understand how the world works and even try to control elements of it. In contrast, 'magic' is used to describe something that you currently cannot explain through experiments and tests. In my world, humans seek to explain away magic with science as if they are polar opposites.

But in conversing with others, I've found that some worlds use these terms differently. I'd like to hear more about that, if I may. I think it may be useful for helping me understand this world's concept of 'reality' and our place within it. Oh, and feel free to discuss amongst yourselves..? The exchanging of information can only be a good thing.

Hello to whomever this post may reach.

I'm fairly new here, my name is Ryo Asuka and I was a university professor and researcher at home. As such, you can expect that I may have a certain amount of curiosity about the worlds people come from.

No, I'm not asking for full details on your homes. But my world was struck down by the apocalypse. Or an apocalypse. It was what one would expect. Destruction, death - it was Biblical. That was the last thing happening before I was brought here, so you can imagine my surprise to be in such a thriving place.

I have a lot of interest in theologies and religious practices, so I want to know what they are like where you're from. Do you have god or gods? Faith, religion, apocalypse stories. Do you have an interesting superstitions or holidays?

My world had a lot of different religions and practices - but obviously certain ones were prominent.

I appreciate anything you can share. Or are willing to share.
