I'm not suggesting you apply the scientific method to spirituality, though. I'm suggesting that Cause can be unmeasurable. If we can do that, it opens up possibilities for new understanding.
I think the material world can only be half explained by modern physics. (I have a few reasons for coming to this conclusion, which I'll share if you care to hear them. It's hard for me to type out, I can explain myself better in speech, if that makes sense.)
And that's fair. But it's always going to have that margin of error until it doesn't, it has been my actual, lived experience online that you can bet on an Atheist to be a complete dick to anyone even hinting to a supernatural belief. (Look at these comments.) You (generally speaking) don't get to go around being a giant dick to the "other team" like that with any margin of error.
I genuinely feel that we aren't going to science ourselves into the Star Trek future. Corruptibility is Humanities Achilles Heel, and I don't see how we science our way out of that.
