Too funny. Science is studying physics, not metaphysics. The word metaphysics came about because it comes after physics, and is specifically not physics.

Once again proving you don't know what you're talking about. There is something beyond the physical world that is being studied by science.

Once again you are wasting bandwidth.
Please learn to read. You don't even understand what I wrote. The word metaphysics (please focus on the word) came about because the subject matter was listed after physics and was in a separate volume. It didn't have a name other than "after physics" (metaphysics).
Ergo, it is absurd to claim that metaphysics is the study of physics.
Philosophy is metaphysics. Psychology can also be part of paranormal. The BBC did a good job showing people with supernatural powers.
Aristotle's text called "Metaphysics" was not his own, but later translators several hundred years later. Aristotle called the subject of the text, "first philosophy."

The BBC did not show any supernatural powers. To do so, the BBC would need a to publish a repeatable experiment and operating hypothesis.
Do a search on the BBC documentary. They had kids with psychic powers who knew what number was written on the cards. We know very little about the mind, so that's why science doesn't end with the physical world.

Science isn't a "study". Science is not metaphysics. Science has no theories about religions or what cannot be measured and tested.

Philosophy is not science. Redefinition fallacies. Psychology is not science. "Supernatural" is not science.

Paradox. Irrational. You cannot argue both sides of a paradox.

Science is not "psychic powers".
The biologist Richard Dawkins openly admits to being relatively ignorarant about theoretical physics, and he confesses that physics is the science asking the genuinely deep and difficult questions about the nature of reality.
His claim to base his atheism on the grounds of physical materialism is on shaky footing if he doesn't understand how key truths are separate from material objects - and that universal first principles must be abstracted from fundamental physical material and observations.
