I never said it was. However everything that goes on your your brain can be the subject of scientific examination, including the sense of wonder, and aesthetic experiences. I did not say they were "part of scientific exploration", but these experiences *can* be (are, and have been) subjected to scientific examination, and can be explained by science. Anything humans brains do, and experience, can be examined by science.

I certainly am NOT claiming the experience and the examination of the experience are the same thing.
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell  Popcorn
