This kind of populist extrapolation does a disservice to serious and sophisticated thought and discussion about science and religion.

I do nothing more than point out that some magical acts once thought beyond the reach of mortal man is within reach or highly plausible.

The Liahona must have appeared to be a magical talisman to Joseph Smith and early Saints.

To replicate the Liahona in 2007 is so trite as to be almost ridiculous.

By the way, SU, in case you didn't know, I don't care wtf you think.
