How did superstition come about? Why are well-educated people superstitious?

Superstition came into being in ancient times for thousands of years. The fundamental reason is that people at that time did not have the ability to distinguish between the universe and nature. With the development of science, the progress of the times and the progress of society, more and more mysteries have been uncovered and people are no longer superstitious. But there are still well-educated people who are superstitious. These people can't say that they don't believe in science. Their books are all read for nothing. Can only say that it varies from person to person.

These people are all people with high IQ, and their abilities are outstanding since childhood. After their advantages have been repeatedly verified, their awareness of understanding omnipotence in research has been strengthened. However, the vastness and precision of the universe and nature, as well as the unanswerable nature, have caused the "masters" to fall into the extreme of "IQ collapse" or even "self-denial" and "self-dwarfing" and turn to superstition "theology" to rationalize "unsolved problems", such as Newton and Qian Xuesen.
