Number 8 is ruled by Saturn and hence people feel that they will be attracting the negative influences of that planet. 8 is a destiny number and many of them either succeed very well or suffer very much at the hands of fate.

Numerology is not related to science. People like or dislike numbers for a wide range of reasons, mostly related to a strong personal experience or to superstition.

Actually, the Chinese LOVE the number 8.
It is considered very lucky and symbolises wealth n prosperity.
I'm staying in a country of Asia where the majority is made up of the Chinese.

I don't know about 8, but mandy_15sg is right. 4 (si) sounds like the word death (si), which is why Chinese people believe you shouldn't go to a funeral if the number of your age has a four in it. As for 8, maybe it's because it sounds like the English word "ate".

No! I know fluent Chinese, and number eight in Chinese does NOT sound like "death" or "evil", it is number 4 (si). Btw, number 8 is considered a very lucky number by Chinese people.

One theory is that the Chinese word for the number "eight", sounds similar to the Chinese word for "death" or "evil". Taoists and the Chinese religions used numerology to determine future outcomes.
