The inherent bias is that metaphysical considerations are not allowed. Evolution must explain all human behaviors and the outcomes of those behaviors.

You know, apologist, the evolutionist's statement itself seems to be inherently "metaphysical" -- though of a bastardized sort, it seems.

Or to view it in a slightly different way, the concept that the physical sciences alone can provide truth and answer questions is, itself, a philosophical, not a scientific, statement. How would one empirically test the truth of such a concept? Or as author J.P. Moreland put it:

"... the aims, methodologies and presuppositions of science cannot be validated by science. One cannot turn to science to justify science any more than one can pull up oneself by his own bootstraps. The validation of science is a philosophical issue, not a scientific one, and any claim to the contrary will be a self-refuting philosophical claim."
