Magic, Science, and Religion

Science is a subject that relies on magic and religion because without the thoughts that religion and magic create, there wouldn't be any theories that could be conducted to determine the realities of the world.  The difference lies with the physical world and metaphysical world.  Religion deals with faith, which you cannot explain.  It's nontangible.  Science deals with actual facts about the world we live in.  You test your theories in the assumption that you will come to a conclusion, even when you sometimes don't find a conclusion, that is still an answer.  When the three are combined, many people think that its terrible or demoralizing.  When you consider the questions that scientists ask, where do they come from?  Looking at the world in a metaphysical state, we begin to think outside the box which gives us questions that scientists then take and perform tests and theories.  I still believe that its hard to explain magic or religion, but some cultures of the world rely heavily upon these in search of the notions that help them with survival.  It's not the distinction between these subjects that are confusing to most of us, but when you combine magic, religion, and science, our minds seem to block out any necessary relations that may take place.
