ABOMINABLE MYSTERY. “Although strong emergence is logically possible, it is uncomfortably like magic. Such causal powers would be quite unlike anything within our scientific ken. This not only indicates how they will discomfort reasonable forms of materialism. Their mysteriousness will only heighten the traditional worry that emergence entails illegitimately getting something from nothing.” (Mark A. Bedau).
