Modern superstition - Wendell Berry - Reductive Science and Scientism

Miracles are often dismissed as pre-modern myth, but this dismissal stems from a bias against the miraculous in modern society.

Wendell Berry refers to this bias as a modern superstition, where reductive science has led to the belief that the world and its creatures are mere machines. This belief stems from the human desire for predictability and control, but it underestimates the complexity and unpredictability of life.
