Isn't this the study which was founded by the John Templeton Foundation? I believe it was, and if so these scientists were religiously motivated. They did not want to disprove any gods / supernatural / sentient beings, but just the opposite: they wanted to find evidence of the *existence* of such a being.
If one believes in a crazy, jealeous, murderous, petty Creator of The Universe, who would like his followers to smite unbelievers and kiss his feet at every opportunity, and roasting those who gets on his bad side forever and ever in Hell, what science could one possibly do that would be more important than to actually first show hard evidence of such a being, and second, try to figure out his motivations, likes and dislikes?
Absolutely none, of course. Cancer research would fade so much in comparison to that, it would seem completely worthless.
