Atoms are mostly empty space. The electron shell is really a probability cloud and the solidity which we feel at our scale is actually the electromagnetic force interacting between the electron clouds.
And Protons themselves are made up of Quarks and since electromagnetism doesn't function at that scale our very definition of "solid" loses context.
And as Brandon noted, even if we follow this chain of information all the way down to a level at which we have no data, it still doesn't, and never would, imply that magic was the next piece we were missing. In science, the answer is never going to be magic. Never. If you want to make up an argument outside of science then you can say whatever you want, but you shouldn't waste your time trying to support it with a scientific argument because by definition your argument is just going to crash and burn at the end.
