   Certainly, recognise one's worldview and the risk of confirmation bias   
   etc that it brings. I try to argue on the basis of science, as best I   
   can. But who of us is free from the influence of our preconceptions and   
   beliefs?   
      
   Similarly, do you reject God because the idea of moral accountability is   
   uncomfortable?
