All science is materialistic

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."

― Arthur C. Clarke

I would say that Arthur C. Clarke was "not even wrong".  For instance, in Chemistry, there are spin-forbidden reactions, which means that these reactions are impossible.  It's a pithy quote; futurists love it, but, it's Ignorance on Parade.

You’re response has nothing to do with Clarke’s Third Law. For one thing, he was speaking about technology, not science. For another, he did not say anything about ‘impossible’ (although he used the term in the First and Second Laws).

Thirds and lastly, it’s important to remember that ‘sufficiently advanced’ is a culturally relative term. A cell phone, a handheld torch, or a power saw would certainly seem like magic to a culture that had never experienced them.
