Magic is the palaeontology of science. This could mean that science is merely the stepping stone to something else.....

Therefore do not place too much faith in rationality.

We look back upon the times of mysticism with scorn.

But one day in the future they will look back upon these times of science with scorn.

Mathematics and materialism are only good for fostering a situational awareness as we navigate this waking world.

But this waking world is just the part of the dream that shrouded in the least shimmering mist.

So we must use our ears as well as our eyes.

science will always be a step behind magic, and I say this as someone who is as a science student lol

Magic is the palaeontology of science.

The story begins in the late 1800s, when Sir Paul Thomas Newton published An Introduction to the Physical History of Man, a paper in which he argued for the origin and use of living creatures as physical objects based on physical properties including the matter and matter properties of bodies and organs. Newton's work was followed by others to the same effect in the early 1960s, including Walter Benjamin et al, published in the "Journal of Physical Anthropology." In the 1970s, Newton's theory of evolution was abandoned as it was found that living organisms only evolved after much damage (not evolution). The idea that the origin of life is due to physical laws and principles is, if anything, a far cry from the actual evidence and explanation in the physical sciences. In an even more recent work, Isaac Newton and his model for the origin of life, G. W. Campbell, explored the concept of causality but they did not make a strong case for evolution. In an important turn, the 1970s science fiction movies Star Trek: The Next Generation or Captain Kirk's Command of the Galaxy and Captain America: The Winter Soldier both came close to showing Darwinian evolution for the species as they showed some strong evolutionary evidence through their films.

Today, the theory of living things also takes on a certain psychological, theological, physical, philosophical, and intellectual underpinnings. The science fiction and comic books of the same name reflect these concepts

I have zero use for woo-woo. My adage is: If it’s not science, it’s superstition.
@GeraldVeritasSeeker No, the Enlightenment made superstition untenable. Science is a method, not a position. If there was a way to detect, measurable, and conduct repeatable tests of what you call "mysticism", then it will be science.

@BlueSkyKing when we have evolved more, developed the capacity to sense things that we cannot feel, that will be a new Enlightenment.

That will be the Transenlightment and science will be regarded the same as mysticism.
@GeraldVeritasSeeker What exactly do you need to validate? We don’t depend on our senses, they are very flawed. Right now, we have many machines that work fine. They can detect things far better than the senses of any animal. Also, these machines get the data right.
