Can anyone give me an example of something where the best explanation was once a scientific explanation but now the best explanation is a spiritual one?

Can you give me an example of "the best explanation"?
By "spiritual" do you mean "metaphysical"?
After all, science may have an explanation for cultural mythology, but spiritual explanations (using "spiritual" in the same sense as attitude, outlook, etc.) are far more satisfying, and thus for me, better.
The best explanation is the one that explains the most and provides the most accurate data.
So Einstein's relativity is a better explanation for how objects move than Newtonian physics, for example.
By a spiritual explanatio0n, I mean one that invokes a ghost, mythical creature or God. Something that is not testable from a scientific point of view.
Ah. So "better" not being a preferential opinion but a measurable standard...

There have been many distortions done in the name of science in order promote various ideologies and ideas of racial supremacy. If we consider such corruptions of the scientific process "science," then I would argue that there are many spiritual views that are more conducive to harmonious living.
Yeah, explaining women scientifically hasnt been working for me and I logically had to resort back to demons as the explanation. Other than that, experience cant readily be explained scientifically. Not the act of seeing or feeling but the actual sensations, how is it that the universe can experience itself or experience at all?
Is that so? Do you have an actual example?
The universe doesn't experience anything. Some objects in the universe do.
I think your distinction about sensations is just wordplay meant to sneak the supernatural in by the back door.
The best explanation is the one that explains the most and provides the most accurate data.
Thats like saying nature doesn't experience only humans do. When really humans are a part of nature.
I'm not trying to invoke the supernatural. I would just count 'being' as a sensation but calls for somewhat of a spiritual explanation.
Humans being part of nature and experiencing is not the same as nature, taken as a whole, experiencing.
