Something just came to mind and i thought Id share in the hope that I may gather further insight on the topic. It strikes me that the foundation of science is in the study of the mechanisms by which certain phenomena occur. This differs distinctly from magic, and often religion and spirituality, in that these practices are content to observe and make use of phenomena (such as correlation between variables) without knowledge of the processes at work. That is to say the magician, spiritual worker, or theologian can make use of a correlation between their own actions or observations and the effects of these actions or observations on their environment in a direct fashion, while the scientist seeks to understand on an empirical level the processes by which the correlation occurs.
