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.
Science is pretty much the business of demonstrating how things can happen through regular and repeatable causes. Granted there are unique events like asteroid strikes, but the physics of asteroids is comprised of regular, lawful phenomena.
