What is the relationship between science and superstition?

The relationship between science and superstition is a complex and interesting topic. Different people may have different views and understandings.

Science and superstition are not antagonistic, superstition is "superstition", and science also has "superstition", and there are not a few people who are superstitious about science; The key to "superstition" is the subject, not superstitious things.

Science and superstition are the relationship of unity of opposites. Astronomy in modern science originates from ancient astrology, medicine from ancient witchcraft and chemistry from alchemy. Science is inextricably linked with superstition and religion.

The main differences between science and superstition are: the subject of science is knowledge system, and the subject of superstition is belief system; Science is based on experience, superstition is based on authority; Science takes reason as the method, superstition takes sensibility as the method; Science is driven by innovation, while superstition is driven by conservatism.

There are also intersections and influences among science, traditional culture and superstition. Traditional culture contains a lot of wisdom and values, as well as many contents that modern science cannot explain or prove. These contents are not necessarily wrong or useless, but we need to understand and learn from them with an open and respectful attitude.
