When I said "we deny it", I didn't mean you specifically, Craig. I meant science and scientists in general. If something makes them uncomfortable, most scientists try and avoid confronting the problem and many just dismiss things offhandedly. Especially if the thing which makes them uncomfortable is going to take them into areas they believe aren't "kosher".
Thinking you can detach yourself from what you observe is a delusion many scientists have and make every day. It's a play in the mind. In any case, what is "physical reality", other than a consensus opinion for the most part. Even the opinion is a filter. Thinking you can be objective is a filter. There's no escaping it. Reality is most likely so far from the consensus opinion as to what it is that we may never really know what we're looking at...simply because we're a part of it to begin with.
