That attitude shows a strong emotional bias that is not likely
to produce any useful scientific insights. (02)
I was complaining about the use of the "meme" meme by Dawkins and
Dennet as a tool for their program of destroying the god meme.
That leads me to suspect that their methodology is as biased as
a creationist who sets out to disprove evolution. (03)
I have no quarrel with anybody who does a historical or sociological
study of the consequences (positive or negative) of religion. (04)
But I do have doubts about their procedures when they invent so-called
"scientific principles" in order to fit a preconceived agenda -- either
pro or con. (05)
