Occams Hatchet and Is Materialism "Special"

[robvalue]

Materialism doesn't account for magic. Some people like there to be magic.

But methodological naturalism, which is the most sensible position in my opinion, doesn't even deny magic. It doesn't deny anything. It simply observes that things beyond our ability to measure are... beyond our ability to measure. I'm surprised anyone would ever argue with that statement. Since we can't measure them, we can't model them or include them as a factor.

Please no more conflating the existent with the abstract. It's so tiresome.
