Contacting the global mind.

Actually the word for knowledge in latin is Conscientia, whereas scientia refers to knowledge gained through demonstrable and reproducible data.

Interesting topic, in any case.

I saw this written on a telephone pole the other day: "Does a set that contain all sets contain itself?"

Well, it seems this argument is just a matter of semantics. I believe the extent of the distortions of our universe can be demonstrated and reproduced. Thus I still contend magic can be science. It just all depends on what one considers "demonstrable" in various contexts.

As for your question: Isn't a set defined by its subsets?
