>Roy C. Lackey- That power, and the power to bring the dead back to life, was a supernatural power.

>Jeff Wilson- Of course it's supernatural
 
 
Supernatural only to 21st century primitives who managed to use their puny millenium or two of 
scientific study to advance their understanding of the universe past alchemy, phlogiston and 
luminiferous aether to their quasi-religious beliefs in "entropy" and "conservation of mass-energy"
 
We of Urth's First Empire have 30,000 more years of science at our disposal and thus have over 15x more 
advanced knowledge of the universe and its possibilities. Yet we should not debase ourselves with hubris 
and should  decline to snicker at the neo-Neanderthals who struggled desperately with their simple 
Einsteinian-Planckian-Hawkingsian knowledge of physics and felt they had it all figured out, even as they
needed a supreme effort just to travel to Lune. ;- )
