I would disagree. There is plenty of space in science for so called magical abilities.. Science does not exclude any of it and certainly does not demand proof... Science is merely a systematic methodology of describing the world. If magical abilties are part of the world they get described also. Hence parapsychology.
There is a kind of neo rationalism in the world that came into being around the turn of the previous century. Which presumes a proper way of thinking a proper way in which the world works... But this world view although it pretends to be the scientific view really is not the scientific view.. Evidently it is hard for people to separate the two... But science truly makes no claims about the metaphysical.
Whenever you hear that and look closely it's always one of those neo rationalists. And when you listen closely it's mostly pseudo skepticism.
The problem is that often people who know magick and the spiritual to be real start to reject science as a whole. And those who don't reject the spiritual as a whole. Since both tools are valid ways to explore the world and there is only one world both methodologies should fit like a hand in a glove.
