Best Answer

People have superstitions because they allow fear and illogical thoughts to control their minds instead of thinking things through rationally.

One of the biggest superstitions in history is the Big Bang Theory. Evidence that scientists use to support this theory is incomplete and largely speculative. If the earth was formed as a result of a massive explosion billions of years ago, then how do you explain how the 'bang' material got there? Was it always there? Or who put it there? The answer: nobody. Some think The Big Bang is a lie. Human minds may never understand or comprehend the origins of life or the universe. Let's just say God created everything in existence. Of course, this second paragraph - which is more of an assumption - relies on an antiquated knowledge of matter and energy. Humans use the language they have at their disposal. In time, we'll have better terms to use to explain what is now called "big bang." Our limited perception of 'time' limits our ability to fully analyze that "point in time." The first paragraph actually is the best.
