Understand the meaning of magic. It's a metaphor. The paramount factor during any calculation is that of humanity. This is because every human action is a means to the fulfillment of a human desire. Thusly, every thought is a shard of human understanding. Therefore, the crux of reality is how people think and act. If we think and act en masse in accordance with the scientific understanding, then it becomes objectively correct. The distinction between god and science comes from the lack of independent faith. Science directly siphons perception. That is why it is so ultimately persuasive that there is no question of whether it is in effect or not at any given time. Because of the overlap with basic, largely unchangeable human nature. To put it another way, science is such a strong consensus that we've forgotten that it is only a consensus. All fields of science are the fortification of this consensus, as is philosophy. We solidify the current format of reality instinctively. That is why it takes a long time to change. The goal of the scientific method is a unified theory of everything. Do you understand what that means? It's a direct explanation for everything that plays on the deepest parts of human nature. An unchangeable, inescapable format. So magic is the creation of a reality which does not become invalidated by the scientific method of thorough observation and discussion. There are two ways one can create magic, for the most part. Either have people commit to it independently, as with gods, or create something so complicated that science cannot explain it as it currently is - therefore people will commit faith to it as something which is independent of science with the added bonus of there being direct perception with which to persuade others. So, science is faith. As is magic. Everything is faith, even you and me. Faith is a manner of thinking and acting. Evidence is merely a method of amassing that faith.

science offers reliability and incorruptibility, and quantum physics leaves space for indeterminableness
