Sure.

If you mean 'science the world view' which means the philosophical stance that Consciousness (Spirit) is an emergent property of matter (amongst other things), then yes there's a spectrum and they're opposed.

On the other hand if you mean 'science the approach' — then there are many spiritual paths that follow the approach of the presentation of results and a method by which those results may be verified or refuted by a practitioner.

Thanks for explaining! I appreciate the differentiation you've made between the world view and the approach, as I'd forgotten about that. I agree that many spiritual paths do follow a very precise approach. And in fact, I'd reverse this:

> Consciousness (Spirit) is an emergent property of matter

to this:

> Matter is an emergent property of Consciousness/Spirit

from a spiritual point of view :)
