This does exist in some form. Alchemy was only recently accepted as a valid science and was heretofore considered heretical by the powers that be in Ul'dah. Black Magic is also seen as such, unless I am mistaken. So Eorzea does have its share of "forbidden knowledge" and conventional superstition towards the strange and extraordinary. Though you could argue the example of alchemy goes to suggest that Eorzea is entering a period of enlightenment, which would actually suit the world pretty well, especially as part of the "Astral Era" thing.
