Why do people still believe in superstitous beliefs and practices?

People want to feel secure in the idea that things happen for reasons. When science cannot explain things, they often turn to things that are not scientific to provide explanations. Also, even great scientists believe things many rational people cannot accept, but the fact that people cannot accept them does not mean they are not true. Belief in God is one example, and some people call it a superstition, while others, no less intelligent or rational, believe.
