If there were a way to objectively observe, measure, and test spiritual phenomena...

Then they would, by definition, be reclassified as natural phenomena.

I suppose. Either way, until such matters can be objectively studied, we can't fault science for not dealing with them. Even if a scientist had no bias against the existence of such phenomena, there would be nothing he could do about them, so his scientific work would be indistinguishable from that of a scientist who literally believed that no such phenomena existed.
