That's idiotic. You present that group as an example, but then don't even read a single paper to assess the veracity of what they're putting forth? And we're the ones taking shortcuts? Give me a break.
Also, does this sound like science to you?
That's from that group's mission statement. No legitimate scientific research organization would ever write that. For one, it presupposes what they claim to be searching for (souls and spirits). Second, it makes an unwarranted distinction between the mind and the rest of the physical world, as though the two are somehow separate.
This is the classic sign of BS woo. Intelligent design is based on this exact model. Assume that the conclusion you want exists and is correct, and cherry pick evidence to support it. ID has people with Ph.D's, too, and plenty of papers written by them. Doesn't mean much.
Seriously, you need to work on your critical thinking skills.
