depends which science.
many social scientists takes a fairly open mind about it, trying to reverse centuries of bias.
physical sciences seem to be mostly attuned to imperical results, in which spiritual elements seem irrelevant, as unobsevable from an imperic point of view.

A) Science doesn't see anything. It's a process, not a person.
B) Different scientists see it differently. You'd have to ask each of them how they "see" the spiritual world.
C) It is not the province of ANY of the sciences to investigate the spiritual world. The closest a scientist can get is to look for and examine possible electrical and biochemical changes (if any) in the brain while testing a subject for ESP ability.

Quantum physics is just starting to realize that there is something nonphysical going on around us. They are finding out that some particles apparently are existing at more than one place at the same time. Certain basic components of atoms have the ability to blink in and out of existence at will.
At the moment they are calling it parallel universes, but this is just a more scientific way of saying an alternate or spiritual reality.
Science is actually starting to get it. It's just that no one is willing to be the first to come out and say what many of them are thinking. They are all aware that the ridicule from those who are afraid of such ideas will be withering.
The what the bleep movie comes about as close as anyone has to coming right out and saying that a spiritual reality exists. Watch it, its long but worth the effort.

Science by definition is the study of the natural universe in natural terms. Therefore science doesn't see the spiritual world at all. It lies completely outside the purview of science.

More and more, the scientific world is acknowledging that the spiritual world exists. Many scientists have spiritual beliefs that, while they may not follow what many religions consider spiritual, the two actually go hand in hand. If you will read Genesis in your Bible, you will see that when Adam and Eve ate from the "Tree of Knowledge" -- the apple -- God was sad because Adam and Eve were no longer protected from what we might consider "bad" things that happen. The statement was made that now that Adam and Eve had eaten from the tree of knowledge there was no limit to what they might find out. Therefore, Science and the Spiritual World came together and were inseparable at that point.
If we trust our faith in God, we will realize that everything we have, everything we learn, everything we are has been given to us by God and we will never know true limits until we can see God and even then, who knows? Every opportunity, every answer we and our scientists find, leads to more questions and I believe that scientists are always searching for the ultimate answer using the tools that God has provided to them, regardless of their professed beliefs. God has a purpose for everyone and everything and we are to be obedient to that purpose. No one or no action can shake the faith of those who are truly faithful.

Well, misters "it doesn't"...how about this one...I think it would depend greatly upon the scientist. I know many, many who have not ruled out a spiritual world.
Science is not at its end. It has made errors, corrected them, discovered new and exciting things. What is out beyond us? Was there ever life on some distant planet? Can we cure cancer? I don't think science has necessarily given up on any possibility as yet. CC

It doesn't. By definition the supernatural is beyond the scope of science. Its job is to reveal facts about this world founded on the available evidence.

Depends upon the scientist. If you have an open mind, you can find books, websites, speeches by scientists who believe in God. If you have a closed mind, you'll just hit the thumbs down and not learn anything.

The spritual world is outside the purview of science so science has no opinion on it at all.

No scientific evidence for it.
