Not everything can be covered by science.
Not everything that is not covered by science is bad.
Some of the things that are not covered by science are bad: these include pseudo-scientific beliefs like astrology, religious belief, and so on.
The question here is to do with knowledge and scientific explanation. This is the subject matter of epistemology (the study of knowledge in and of itself) and philosophy of science (how something gets to be scientific in the first place). You are right that it is entirely unscientific but you are wrong that think that as a result it should be rejected. Not everything that is unscientific should be rejected, this is one instance of that. You need to learn the distinction between science and philosophy of science.
