[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 5372869"] If there is a logical reason to use science over magic, then yes. Perhaps there is a race that cannot use magic, even the greatest of magical implements does not work for them, so they use science. Maybe magic is rare, so most people use science for their day-to-day needs. Otherwise, no. Everything that can be done with science can be done with magic, only cooler. Why use a gun if I can shoot a fireball from my fingertips? Why use a bomb when I can summon demons? And, as you already mention, when magic fails, who cares? But when a gun fails? Oh now that's bad news. Why would anyone want to risk using a weapon with a fairly high rate of blowing-up-in-your-face over something that just fizzles when nothing happens? So that's me, if there's a logical reason to use science, then there can be guns. If magic can do everything science can, but better, then society would likely have never developed the necessary technology to invent guns. [/QUOTE]
