I choose the world of magic, I've always thought of it as interesting
You may think that I'm crazy, but my reality is just different from yours.

Magic.

In a magical world, the abilities you have are your own, while in a scientific world, they are more a product of humanity.

Science is the law of Nature. How is it at all related to humanity?


I would assume that in a scientific world, technological advancements would be most prevalent. The advancements made by scientists and developers would ultimately be the source of human ability.


Ex:

futuristic laser beam weapon created by scientists = humanity's achievement

possessing the ability to control fire at will = your own strength

There was demonology, geomancy, hydromancy, aeromancy, pyromancy, chiromancy, scapulimancy, etc. that appeared alot in folk beliefs, and theological and even "scientific" venues. The Church usually disapprove of magic but usually did nothing as long as there was a theological approach. Also, there were jesters and magicians who perform tricks for entertainment and all that. It was only during the modern period that magic was truly seen as wicked with the witch hunts and all that jazz.

We already live in a world of magic. For those that believe, Jesus makes miracles happen every day.

But to answer your question, I would choose a world of magic. Science is an abomination in the name of our Lord.
Matthew 21:21 - And Jesus answered and said to them, "Truly I say to you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and cast into the sea,' it shall happen.

If you say a higher power is at work in the world your basically saying there is an entity that can perform 'miracles.' And what is a miracle, if not something done by magic? So why choose a world where, from the perspective of a normal, everyday world, 'miracles' can be performed by anyone and everyone? Makes believing in some sort of higher power a bit stupid...

the beauty of a world of science is there will always be phenomena that can't be explained away, lending evidence to support a religious argument

Honestly, if the world were to be magical in terms of Harry Potter magic then I think I would choose that.

If it were more like medieval ages PERMANENTLY..... I would choose science.

If it were like some anime worlds, then I would also choose that :D.

I wonder what kind of jobs we would have if the world runs purely on magic. What would be the magic counterpart of a computer programmer, I'm curious.

A world of magic seems nice at first glace, with resuts being delivered at a flick of a wand. But I can already see myself lazing around all day in that scenario. Everything seems less enjoyable, the novelty wears off after a while.

So science still.


Also, this is true..... Well maybe there would be potion brewers, wand makers, scholars, and shit. However, I don't think magic would open enough jobs to be able to support big cities... I think the entire world would just be a bunch of suburbs.
