The only things that are beyond science are the things invented by deluded minds.

Tell that to the psychologists.

How many people have not cursed at an innaminate object that would not 'do what they wanted' ? How far is it from fearing a predator in the dark from fearing the dark and what it may hide. Is a mistaken perception agency in thunderstorm so surprising ?

Superstition happens, it is part human nature. How many societies have not invented or adopted a god ?

And scientists study it/them.
