Superstition used to affect people's lives when most were superstitious, sometimes with awful results as in the cruel drives against so-called "witchcraft" from Mediaeval times to the 18C.

Scientific "beliefs" are called Hypotheses, and are suggestions to explain certain observations or unsolved questions. If testing them shows strong evidence in favour, they become Theories.

Your reading this on a computer powered by mains electricity (even if via batteries as in a lap-top), is one obvious way in which scientific laws affect your life - so is having the radio playing in the background as mine is now. Another is that you might now go and make a cup of coffee, or drink a glass water straight from the tap. (If you can't do the latter that's not a scientific failing, but a commercial or legislative one!)
