a time when some scientists asked Lame Deer if they could conduct tests during a prayer tent (sweat lodge) ceremony. They were good young adults, who were very sincere. It was an interesting thing to consider, for a variety of reasons.

In today's New York Times book review section, there were two articles about a book by Harvard scientist Marc Hauser about the general topic mentioned in the OP. I'm not sure that it matters as much if one agrees with him, or disagrees .... as it matters that one is capable of discussing their opinion, and the opinions of others, with respect.
