Ivatan beliefs:
1. 1. Mothers who newly delivered a baby aren't allowed to read for they'll experience aches.
Explanation: Because of the mother's drain labor, they still cannot regain their normal health status and so they can easily get tired and dizzy.
2. Ivatans avoid ironing clothes while in an open air.
Explanation: Anyone working in an occupation such as ironing, in which they extensively use their hands is said to be prone to pasma. From the traditional cause of "init" and "lamig", this is a traditional concept sufficiently intact in the contemporary Philippine psyche to be accepted, alone as a cause for pasma.
3. When winged ants come out, it foretells rain.
Explanation: Ants have the ability to sense when rainy season is approaching and when this time comes, they take their food and head for shelter.
4. Fishing during full moon is avoided because of poor catch.
Explanation: During full moon, the wind and current become relatively stronger, particularly during the southwest and the northeast monsoons. These conditions make the fishing operation difficult. Also, a full moon makes the surrounding bright by dispersing light. If a fishing gear that makes use of a weak ordinary light is employed, no fish will be become attracted to it because the light is not concentrated.
Fundamentally ...
IF it is provable that it is false, then it is scientific.
For instance, no living human can prove that a belief in God is false (it's all based on word of mouth), so religion is unscientific.
On the other hand, there are all types of tests to show that the world is round,
but find me an edge and its disproved.
It's the ability to test (at all levels) that makes the difference.
Humans came from monkeys or apes...as simple as that^^
Science is not a basis of belief as science is backed up with practical proof.
when it happens to me
The lack of a scientific basis is one of the DEFINING CHARACTERISTICS of a superstition. If there is a scientific basis for something, it would no longer be fair to call it a superstition.
Holmes Martins established the scientific basis of vaccination.
emperical evidence
Some examples of superstitions are walking under a ladder, knocking on wood, and having bad luck after breaking a mirror. Superstitions do not have a scientific basis, there might be a reason such as someone walking under a ladder might get something dropped on them, but this is not scientific.
No. By definition, a superstition is a belief that does not have a scientific basis.
There is no scientific basis for this it is a superstitious belief not a scientific one.
No. By definition, a superstitious belief does not have a scientific basis.
Superstitious beliefs are basically not proven and beliefs with scientific basis are beliefs that are proven to be true.
when it happens to me
There are none. If a belief or practice is superstitious, then by defintion it does not have a scientific basis.
wether it is or not. but techinally it is scientific if it is proven by the scientific method.
No. No evidence in the scientific area. Many paranormal occurrences but no scientific evidence.
