Thanks for the thoughtful comment!

I think what often bugs me about "modern science" is that the entire nature of science and scientific inquiry has changed over the past century or so.

Science used to be a field of curiosity and of exploration where the unlikely and impossible was postulated, explored and tested. These days, science seems to have become "fat, old and arrogant" and things are dismissed out of hand if they don't fit already established paradigms. It almost feels as if science has created a bunch of theories and explanations and avoids dealing with any questions that might result in those theories having to be revised or restated. From where I am sitting, that's hardly progress.

The things I always keep firmly in mind tend to be centered on "knowing" vs. "existence." Things like microwaves (the scientific concept, not the appliance!) have been around for eons and didn't just miraculously pop into existence when we were able to detect them. If you could have shown your smartphone to someone in the 18th century they would likely have called it witchcraft or the work of the devil. With that in mind, who is to say that today's supernatural won't be tomorrow's ordinary?
