The little photocopied handout Dr. Redick gave us titled, Evolution of Relations was interesting to look at.

What intrigued me the most was the systems of interface with the world, at the bottom. It goes, "Myth - Religions use myth as an interface" (okay) then "Magic develops and still uses myth" (okay) then "Philosophy rejects myth and develops Theory" (This I would say that it may reject old myth, but instead it creates a new myth, for example science is a new mythology) it then says, "Magic Follows Philosophy with use of Theory" (okay), then "Science follows magic and Philosophy" (exactly, however science is but another form of magic using it's own mythology and beliefs and assumptions)
