Non-Materialist Neuroscience

Spotted this on the New Scientist website earlier today. It seems the creationists have now declared war on common sense again with another set on non-sequitur arguments.

At least, as is pointed out in the article, this shouldn't have quite the same polluting impact as Intelligent Design. Especially in schools as neuroscience doesn't tend to be on the curriculum.

Scientists are perfectly willing to modify or even throw-away theories if they can be disproved or are superseded. In fact this is the very essence of the scientific method. But please, people, be rigorous in your proof and don't just try and squeeze the facts into your dogma-shaped hole.
