> So I guess we are not magical either. We aren't, and I haven't said otherwise.

  We have a different understanding of magic. Say if someone pressed a button and a human-like thing emerged out of a machine, I would call that pretty magical. Even if it was DNA-based, which we "understand", or ran an ML model, which we "understand". This is something that never come close to being done. Yet I think you would not find it magical. Einstein found wonder in the simplicity of a circle. What do you find magical?

    You initially wrote: > Magic is that which can not be explained. You have now redefined what you mean by "magic" as "that which inspires wonder". Changing definitions after a series of comments is a pretty poor way to have a discussion.

      That which can not be explained inspires wonder. That's basically what makes magic magic.
