Re: Other sources of knowledge
Concerning the part I bolded, I wonder if those 33 research scientists lost their jobs? Possibly not, but one thing's for sure, those findings never will make it anywhere near a science textbook, because it could clash with what atheist prophet Dawkins said about selfish genes.
I guess you never did understand what Dawkins meant by "selfish genes." But thanks for the laughs.

Re: Other sources of knowledge
I know what Dawkins says about the "blind, pitiless indifference" of nature, the obvious beliefs of naturalists that human emotions are not scientific.
That's confused.
The expression "blind, pitiless indifference" (as applied to nature) is a metaphor. Likewise "selfish gene" is a metaphor. Those terms have no implications for human emotions.
There are scientists, such as research psychologists, who scientifically study human emotions.
