Has Science and Reason Taken Away Some of the "Mysticisim" of the world for you?

Don't get me wrong, I love science, I love logic, and facts. However, when I was a kid, I was enthralled with history and mythology. Mummies curses, witchcraft/wizardry, the Greek Pantheon, Norse Mythology etc. As a kid, into my early teens this stuff added "magic"and "mysticism" to the world for me. The world seemed exciting with so many supernatural possibilities. Enter science disproving all of it, and removing the "whimsy" from the world. Sort of like when a kid finds out Santa and the Easter Bunny aren't real. While I've found that science can be exciting in many ways (I was also always into science), it's not the same type of mystery and whimsy that something like the Greek Pantheon, Egyptian curses, and yes even Santa Claus brings. Now when I watch a movie like "The Mummy" my head just starts disproving it with science and facts I've learned. Bleh... anyone else experience this?

if you dive deeper into math it openy a whole new level of mysticism. things are connected in a way that make absolutely no sense at first... but they are
