Science, more often than not, rejects superstition, especially in this modern day and age (not always so in the past). The church, unfortunatly, doesn't always do so, especially in some more traditional denominations (Catholic arguably being one of the worst).

Some churches are growing out of the 'folk theology' of superstition and embracing the Bible as a solid rock of truth, and rejecting traditions that do not come from or line up with the Bible. As a result, many churches are casting off the chains of superstition and embracing the freedom of confidence in Christ. The Bible says "God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, and love, and self-control.", which means that God does not want us to live in fear of superstitions. He wants us to realize that He is in control, and that living for Him is what matters (Romans 12:1-2), not what side of the bed you get out on, whether you walk under ladders, or any other thing people can be afraid of or worry about.

This is to case specific to be answered as a generalization. For those scientists that are religious, possibly depending on the religion. And for those that are not, probably not but you never know.

From my understanding there are many different supersititions that some memmbers of the church hold, while others believe in none.

But in the past (as in thousands of years ago) many scientists of those times were superstitious as well as the church.
