humm... in comic books MAGIC can defy all the scientific rules and isn't bound by the laws of physics.

so magic for the win

Magic is just an advanced form of science.

They are the same thing in many comics. The Newgods, for example, they say they are being worshipped everytime someone uses a microwave. They have no magic, just advanced science.

I submit to you that Doom's armor was at one point described as being powered by a miniature black hole and ask you this: Which abides by the laws of physics?

lol, comic book science is magic

ehhhh yeah i could settle on that.

just one question is the "presence " in DC scientific.
or spector , lucifer, michale (spell).

Science and magic are equal. Beings like pre retcon beyonder and mr. Mxy seem to have blened the two into one.

God is Super natural. A blending of Science and Magic.

I think top tier cosmics; Eternity, LT, Chaos, Order,ect are a perfect blending of both. Infact imo the ODINPOWER is a good example of magic and cosmic blended together

Odinpower is magic, in fact, I don't even know if there is cosmic powers involved... well maybe, considering the Celestials...

Odin power is magic?

Galactus, In-Betweener and Eternity don't think so. In fact, they have all point blank said Asgardians are "self proclaimed gods".

They really don't consider them gods at all.

Also, I might be mistaken, but I thought it was magic? Maybe I am thinking of Thor's magic hammer... but I thought, it was magic. I might go look it up...

That really doesn't say anything about magic though.

Being called a self proclaimed god by Galactus really means something.

Here is an interesting quote

The Elder Gods first appeared billions of years ago, when organic life was beginning to evolve on Earth. The first of them was a being known as the Demiurge, born from Earth's natural magical energies.

So I would say that magic is not just "advanced science" but is a seperate form of power, I don't think magical bolts/shields are composed of atomic/sub-atomics particles.

The one statment I can completly agree with.

Not really 😬

Science is powered by facts

Magic is powered by faith

any sufficiently advanced science is indistinguishable from magic

Okay someone just made the statement that magic always trumps science. I wonder if this is true. Let's pit them and see the outcome.

Each battle has 3 senarios:

NO prep
1 hour prep but no devices
1 day prep w/known devices and battle strategy (meaning things the character has been depicted doing)

Ironman vs. Morgana le Fey

Sersi vs. Loki

Spiderman vs. Lilth (daughter of Dracula) http://www.marvel.com/universe/Lilith_(Daughter_Of_Dracula)

High Evolutionary vs. Mordo

Thanos (pure science only) vs. Clea

Galactus vs. Strange

Arishem vs. Chthon...in this Chthon is able to leave his dimension with
no problem

One above all (celestial) and Exitar vs. The Vishanti

I think this is a good representation...Which side comes out with the majority?

Celestials>Vishanti

and the answer to all this is:

magic doesn't exist, whereas science explains the natural world

Highly advanced Technology may be indistinguishable from magic, but the fact that it is technology and has a natural explanation makes it science and not magic.

Basically, if magic existed it would be science 🙂 Since it describes something that doesn't occur naturally we call it magic 😉

Eternity hasn't cast spells? He cast a shit-load of spells, so did LT.

how very Reed Richards of you

but thats not really the point in comic books magic does exist and can break the established (scientific) laws of physics

Magic has it's own physics.

But it still obeys laws, just not the same ones as physical things.
