If the embrace of science starts with rejecting something else without scientific reason, you already come in with an agenda,

Superstition is by definition non-scientific and devoid of reason.

Definition from Google:

su·per·sti·tion
ˌso͞opərˈstiSH(ə)n/
noun
noun: superstition
excessively credulous belief in and reverence for supernatural beings.
"he dismissed the ghost stories as mere superstition"

synonyms: unfounded belief, credulity, fallacy, delusion, illusion; More

a widely held but unjustified belief in supernatural causation leading to certain consequences of an action or event, or a practice based on such a belief.
plural noun: superstitions
"she touched her locket for luck, a superstition she had had since childhood"
synonyms: myth, belief, old wives' tale; More


One cannot embrace science by somehow "working around" superstition.
It needs to be rejected beforehand. Then one can proceed with scientific research and endeavors.
