This article raises several questions:
1. Are the results reproducible? If not, what are the implications for scientists who repeat the research and get contradictory findings?
– I am with Jurgen on that
2. Is it a good idea to bring religion into scientific research?
– There will be always somebody who will do that. Get the conclusion first from (insert the religious textbook here), then design and experiment to produce results to support their preconceived conclusions.
3. Are scholarly journals a proper venue for such research?
– It depends on what is considered science (the meaning of the word IS is).
