Is superstition accurate?

If superstition is accurate, it must be scientifically justified.

For example, when people begin to die, some organs in the body have begun to rot, so they will exhale gases such as rotten ammonia and corpse ammonia. When the owl smells it, it will fly over to see if there are carrion or old, weak and sick prey to eat, and then it will make some kind of symbolic cry. Of course the old man died the next day. People think they were killed by owls. So owls are considered unlucky birds (mourning birds). This is superstition.

Another is to protect specific objects.

For example, children should not step on the door, or they will become stupid. This is actually afraid that the child will fall. For another example, seeing a nun will be bad luck. In ancient times, nuns were in sparsely populated places such as wild mountains in the suburbs. If a nun goes out and meets a village man in the wild, something may happen to her. Therefore, in order to protect nuns from infringement, there is such a superstition that "it will be unlucky to see nuns in the wild." Slowly, some people don't dare to look at it under any circumstances except to worship Buddha in a nun.

Generally speaking, these are all national superstitions, either science or white lies. The superstition of some ethnic minorities may be related to the local geographical environment, and some people collect money.

Superstition is not necessarily unscientific. Many times it is a very scientific approach, and I don't know why. Its formation may be a very scientific solution discovered by accident after long-term continuous attempts. Even from a modern perspective, it can't be summarized by the word "ignorance". Superstition is a kind of protection, which often embodies a kind of wisdom.
