There is a difference.

And the gap is forever widening between the two.

Yes, the two are quite different in their definitions.

"Metaphysical" refers to all the realities that lie beyond the physical, and also refers to the study of the nature of such realities. Conventional scientists have not even begun to acknowledge these "unknown" territories except for the discovery of dark matter in the universe.

"Spiritual" is referring to one's blessed sense of wholeness or love of God, universal love and kindness to others, and an appreciation of all life. Spirituality can lead to the direct experience of the truth all higher realities that mainstream science has so far failed to bring about.
