There are many such examples. If a person becomes sick, a superstitious explanation could be that an evil witch has cast a spell on that person. The scientific explanation may be that the disease is caused by a bacterial infection. The superstitious explanation is not based on fact, only on paranoia. The scientific explanation would be based on actual medical knowledge, and observation of the sick person.

What are two examples showing the incompatibility between science and superstition?

Every superstition is an example of the incompatibility of science and superstition. As I type, it is Friday the 13th, thought by some to be an unlucky day. So, where does this belief come from? For this conclusion to have any scientific validity, it would have to be the result of a large statistical study of the comparative frequency of good or bad events happening on Friday the 13th as compared to other days of the year. No such study exists. You can apply the same criticism to any other superstition just as easily.
