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.
