Hopefully I put this post in the right forum.

Anyways, I'm currently world building a new planet with along with its spirit system. I decided to make spirituality in that world scientifically proven and the spirit system sciencey. For example: The spirits are actually organisms that evolved from immortal microbes and to this day, their true form is microorganisms but the pretty much dominant species of the planet. Whilst that sounds kinda off-topic, the spirits are from deceased creatures, can contact the living in spirit form and does have some omnipotent powers.

I tried searching up my question in google but I couldn't find anything. Thx to anyone who answers!

Science is really more of a method than a specific field of knowledge. It means using empirical methods (a.k.a. methods based on observation and experience, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empirical_research) to research a question, so yes, if empirical methods can be applied to the spirits in your world, spirituality can become a science!

@standingondesks Thanks for answering and another thank you for providing me with additional info!
