Science. Because the answer never turned out to be magic. Ever.

Found this on facebook. As is typical for leftist science fetishists, this gets it wrong on a variety of levels.


1) It's a Category Error.
2) It's a false binary choice.
3) Neither science or magic are ever the answer. Science is the method by which the questions are explored, and magic is an appeal to mysteries. No one answers the question, "Why did this happen?" by saying "science."
4) Science is definitionally limited to testable phenomena. It has nothing to say about anything outside its realm of inquiry.

    If they are testable they can be a part of scientific inquiry.
