Why would you not try to explain spiritual phenomena with Science?
If they are truely spiritual then they could well be beyond science as they would be true magic as such....effect without explanation and therefore unassailable. The only reason you could not possibly want science to investigate these phenomena is if you thought it was possible that science could come up with a rational explanation that would refute your belief system.
The whole reason I said I don't believe in a religious explanation for scientific phenomena is that you can pretty much have the same explanation for everything. ie God made it that way...and where do you go from there?


I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs and insanity for everyone, but its always worked for me.
