A recent study reveals that belief in science does not necessarily preclude belief in supernatural phenomena like magic or ghosts. Researchers found that individuals who prioritize personal interpretations of spirituality, rather than traditional religious teachings, are more likely to believe in magic. The study analyzed responses from 1,812 American adults, showing that 40% of those who trust science and form their own spiritual beliefs lean towards magical beliefs. This contrasts with only 19% of those who adhere strictly to religious doctrines. The findings suggest that as religious authority diminishes, personal interpretations of spirituality may lead to the coexistence of scientific and magical beliefs. However, the study does not prove the existence of supernatural phenomena, nor does it indicate a rise in belief in magic overall.
