A being, independent of matter or not, either affects reality or it doesn't. If it does, it must necessarily leave evidence on that reality (otherwise how could you possibly know anything about it at all?); that evidence can be at least detectable, which falls squarely in the purview of science. If it doesn't affect reality, why should we even care about it? As far as our universe is concerned, it's indistinguishable from non-existent and we can safely ignore it.
