In the words of Tim Minchin

In his 9 minute beat poem called "Storm", about the relative merits of Science and Magic, Tim Minchin points out that:

Science adjusts it's views based on what's observed

Faith is the denial of observation so that belief can be preserved

and later observes that:

Because throughout history

Every mystery ever solved

Has turned out to be

Not magic

He had apparently reached the stage in his life where not everything he wanted to say could be expressed in comedy song and so had to resort to a 9 minute beat poem.
