Some people attribute these things to superstition, but science itself is not superstition.

First of all, science is an attitude towards the world, not a specific thing or theory. Secondly, science can be practiced and the threshold is very low. Finally, science has made us who we are today. Therefore, science is credible. Geomantic metaphysics, a set of theories, is the result of the ancients' understanding of the world. There is some credibility, but the degree is low. By comparing the two, it is clear at a glance which one is more credible. For example, you entrust someone to do something. There are two candidates, one is a pupil and the other is a college student. People with normal thinking will choose the latter. If someone firmly believes that primary school students can do better, but can't give a proper reason, it is superstition.

The opposite of superstition is faith. Generally speaking, superstition is an unreliable and inefficient belief, at least in modern society. For example, the ancients could only drill wood for fire, which was limited by the conditions at that time. If modern people still do this, they can only say that it is unreasonable.

I feel that the landlord seems to be disgusted with some publicity. This problem should be discussed from the perspective of modern history. Modern history tells us that science can make China strong and restore the dignity of China people. Positive examples are the atomic bomb explosion and satellite launch. The negative example is the so-called invulnerable boxer The government constantly advocates science in order to catch up with developed countries as soon as possible. If we look at developed countries again, we usually don't easily deny metaphysics because they are strong enough.
