Is the world continuous or discrete?

From our everyday experience most of the things that we can see is continuous, the space is continuous, an object is continuous, the water and air are continuous. But Scientists tell us that water, air, and any object are composed of discrete molecules. Many aspects of the physical world that at first seemed to be continuous have been discovered to be built up with discrete elements. So do you think that anything in the world or the world is actually discrete, and there's no continuous thing in science? Even vacuum is also discrete?

Everything is following the same basic rules just on a different scale.
