Why Magical Thinkers Need More Humility

The irony of science is that, although it is the best method to understand objective reality, it is humble enough to realize that, as it discovers more and more, it shows us how much more there is to know and how counter-intuitive reality is at its basic sub-atomic/quantum level.

Compare this thinking to religious/magical thinking that is "certain" about reality based on thousands of years of superstitious/pre-science influence. It is more than past time to stop the "God of the Gaps"-type arguments when hitting a barrier to our objective knowledge and admit that, at that point, "We just don't know."

Choose how you look at reality wisely. Yes, it is a binary choice.
