How science can take the fun and mystery out of many things in life.
For example, you see a mountain, then the world starts shaking, and the mountain spews forth liquid fire and black clouds, you can say that there is a giant worm under the mountain that only you can speak to that demands that a nearby village take care of you and feed it. Then science comes along an says that it is only just venting pressure caused by a build up of gases beneath the Earth's crust, forcing magma and all kinds of soot into the air.
Way to go science, now how am I going to enslave the village, hmmm? The old fashioned way, with usurpation and pointy weapons with people to use them?
