That depends on where one happens to be.
To the ignorant , science can seem to be magic.
I remain ignorant of exactly how computers work (code is magic to me)
As for the very idea that the universe may in fact have come from nothing---that does me head in.
Yikes! Don't understand = magic?

Which bits do you find ‘cool’? Sending bears to rip children apart? Forcing a rape victim to marry her attacker? Endorsing slavery, rape, murder and genital mutilation?

If evolution is wrong, why do we need a different flu jab every year because the flu virus has mutated slightly?

unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?" — Job 39:9–12 (KJV)
also translated as wild ox, rhinoceros or Oryx; but it's in there.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I'm sure that in Ahri's world that's never considered.
