Can superstition be believed?
"knowledge is limited" and quite limited. When people face a huge unknown space, they often put forward their own explanations. The ancients were awed by the thunder, so they put forward their own explanation "Raytheon, Heaven" and worshipped it. Later people call it superstition. Superstition refers to people blindly believing or worshiping things. Superstition in a narrow sense, according to the established habits after the liberation of our country, refers to people's thoughts and behaviors of believing in astrology, divination, geomantic omen, fate and ghosts. Superstition activities generally refer to the activities of folk gods, witches, fortune tellers and geomancers, such as lottery, divination, fortune-telling, fortune-reading, geomantic omen, exorcising ghosts and jumping into the gods. Superstition originally refers to people's blind belief or worship of things, such as books, money, and so on. Nowadays, people generally believe that superstition is caused by having a special interest in certain things because they have no ability to discriminate and can't distinguish the essence of things clearly, and they really believe in them, and then they believe in them from themselves to their beliefs, even to the point of worshipping and having no doubt. Superstitious people are often fascinated by something or phenomenon, and then indulge in it and believe in it. Superstitious people often indulge themselves at will and blindly attach things and statements of "belief" and "worship" to positive and disdainful actions. It seems that "superstition" is a general term, just like the word "management", which includes enterprise management/administrative management/warehouse management/financial management/hospital management/school management and has many usages. And "superstition" will also include: religious superstition/force superstition/wealth superstition, etc., and so on. The characteristics of superstition are: ① not having the ability to distinguish, not being able to fully understand the nature of things; (2) there is no ability to distinguish, but for a certain phenomenon or statement, and even unswervingly believe and worship; (3) blindly attach the phenomena and statements of so-called "belief" and "worship" to active and disdainful actions. The word feudal superstition is a combination of "feudalism" and "superstition". Feng, the first explanation in Ci Hai is that "the emperor gave land to his officials." "Build" means to create, set up and erect. There is no separate entry for the word "feudalism" in Ci Hai. In most cases, the word "feudalism" is abbreviated as "feudal system", "feudal ideology", "feudalism" and "feudal society", such as "anti-imperialism and feudalism", "anti-feudalism and superstition" and "this man is very feudal". However, using superstition for other activities is different from superstition itself. Now we are still giving our own explanations for the unknown space. Maybe these explanations are closer to the truth. Anyway, I think they are much more credible and reasonable than "Raytheon". But when it comes to right or wrong, hey, it's like a group of children watching a movie. They usually say "bad guy" at this person and "good guy" at that person. Our science is nothing but explanations of the unknown, and only God knows whether the explanation is right or wrong. In the history, such things emerge one after another. Some people say that Heliocentrism. Some people are superstitious about Newtonian mechanics, others are superstitious about materialism. (Objection: Science is not an explanation of the unknown at all. It should be left to philosophy (including various philosophies that scientists believe). Science tells us "how" and gives various predictions of things. Newtonian mechanics is inaccurate but very useful. Theory, materialism is metaphysics, not science) Blind belief in science, It is also a superstition. Science is science because any science requires that conclusions must be based on strict experimental proof, and "practice is the only criterion for testing truth". Therefore, we have reason to require all workers engaged in scientific work to maintain a pragmatic and cautious attitude and strictly distinguish between theory and conclusion. On the contrary, blindly believing in science will become a new superstition!
