Not to mention it doesnt make a hill of beans what they believe or have to confess to to be a part of a group if the evidence is credible the evidence is credible! Evidence is evidence, period!
That may be true in apologetics. It is not true in science.
A "scientist" who subscribes to a code of religious belief which is diametrically opposed to the scientific method, such as the one I cited, is not doing science. Any results they produce will be suspect.
I have examined a number of these results in my field of expertise and found them to be wanting. Apologetics, not science.
