11. I think reply #3 states it about as well as I could

Repeatable experiments, design of the experiments to utilize control cases, interpreting the results of an experiment in the context it was designed in, ie., what is called the 'scientific method'.

It shouldn't have anything to do with WHAT is studied -- but rather HOW it is studied. You can (and some do) attempt to study parapsychology or bigfoot and UFO sightings with science, and still do good science. You probably won't find many thrilling answers that way, but they will probably be more correct answers, assuming you did good science.
