Seconding "but magic" as kind of a cop-out. A well-constructed fantasy universe can contain magic but still have magic operate on internally consistent rules about what it can and cannot do and what it does and does not change from the real world.
And there must be something said for internally consistent laws of reality. Physics and chemistry, after all, work similarly enough to reality in Hydaelyn. Why can't biology operate on internally consistent rules as well, magic or no?
