Superstition does indeed die hard. Take Darwinism for example. Here we have a scientistic faith in an unseen magical energy that works on unseen matter (chemicals, Star Stuff) pregnant with life to produce life forms.

Darwinism has no ultimate source for life or conscious life yet millions of humans who think of themselves as 'smart' people embrace this superstitious nonsense without ever understanding that if this fantastic conception is true that they are not people but worthless soulless humanoids, or holons, or aggregates of matter in motion.

That Darwin crap is superstition as well, just as you say.
