    Many scientists and philosophers beg to differ. Prominent among them is Kevin Mitchell, a neuroscientist at Trinity College in Dublin.

    I’m sure that has nothing to do with his argument.

            Are you unaware that confirmation bias in science is real?

              I am aware it’s real, but I’m not aware why it specifically applies to Mitchell.

              Do you not like his conclusions? Because that would be confirmation bias - on your part.

                Indeed it would be! Delighted! Perhaps you’re correct.

                ETA: Some religious institutions don’t interfere in research. I think I’ma but gunshy in the states with “Bob Jones” graduates and the ilk.

                    Tbf, the Ivy League schools were in the admissions bribery scandals. I’ve nothing against Trinity, ( but I’m leaving my comment for transparency). I’m probably just skeptical having been ruled by the Talibangicals since Gingrich.
