Spiritual texts (depending on how you define spiritual) seem to have been misinterpreted or interfered with before the middle ages, during the middle ages, or during the age of enlightenment, heavily affecting the social sciences and philosophy. Alternatively, there may just be conflict of interest and also potential Hellenocentrism and Eurocentrism.
Examples: Commonalities and patterns between alchemy, astrology, Chinese Medicine, Chinese philosophy, Indian philosophy, four humors, Greek philosophy, Ayurveda, and Jungian psychology
A more specific example: The Chinese zodiac is very similar to the Chinese energy clock in Chinese medicine and four seasons which seem to relate to chronobiology. It doesn’t seem to have to do with astronomy or months of the year. The zodiac signs seem to be archetypes or symbolic of organs.
Alternative medicine also seems to be heavily mistreated in the scientific community. I know alternative medicine may seem like pseudoscience, and some of it is, but most of it isn’t pseudoscience. Most of it isn’t what its branded as either. The skeptical movement seems to be involved to some extent with regards to its branding and possibly research interference with a lot of bias in that community.
This seems to possibly be a consequence of current science policy and infrastructure and may be worth looking into further as it could have massive implications for a massive variety of areas including but not limited to psychology, philosophy, and medicine.
Some of this may not be scientific, but it’s worth noting. Also, I realize my username may suggest potential bias which is worth noting too.
