I find it fascinating how they are trying to pit magic vs technology when they are literally one in the same.
Unless biologically otherwise - i.e. pure, unmodified evolutionary based - any and all abilities or powers are technology. "Artificial", while technically meaning "man (meaning human, meaning homo sapien) made" can just as easily be taken as "intelligent design" which would extend to any and all intelligent species, or entities. Meaning artificial constructs, i.e. technology, not being limited to humans, would define magic as either evolutionary biology or artificial technology.
Basically, these "so called" 'gods' are just a hyper-advanced species that either evolved on the planet first, or arrived there in the early developmental phase of the other species there and shared some of their technologies.
So the one guy's argument against magic is the most backwards and idiotic thing I can imagine at this time. Just because HE doesn't understand or comprehend it, doesn't mean other "mortals" could not if they had the opportunity to study it...
