    But, magical thinking can creep into policy, often with disastrous results.

    A more solid footing can be achieved by consulting science educators, for perspective about our place in the universe.

      I see your point - but there’s always going to be questions science can’t answer because science is based only on what we can observe and measure.

      A big one is “where did everything come from”

      So I don’t see a way of avoiding magical or spiritual thinking - it’s likely more important to separate that from fact when making decisions that effect more than just you :)
