The universe didn’t force you not to believe in magic. You could have spent your whole life believing magnets are magical stones, that the electromagnetic force is magical energy, and that computer engineers are wizards who conjure spirits from magic. And you could have been 100% factually and scientifically correct.

But you chose to believe that magic is by definition not real, because you didn’t want to live in a world of whimsy and wonder. You defined magic as supernatural, in opposition to the natural world. While every scientist knows that nature is just a word for everything that exists. You chose to define magic in a way that it wouldn’t exist, denying it through tautology and not through science.

Why did you choose that?

    Supernatural just means beyond science or understanding.

    Magic could exist and people could still not understand why. Just like many concepts and natural forces in the real world, such as consciousness that we don’t understand at all, and yet we still understand it is real.

    So much your thoughts here depend on definitions of words that you might want to crack open a dictionary and actually see what the definition of them is.
