But you agree they should not be including beings like leprechauns or God as possible causes, right? Good, so we agree.

I see claims made based on MN without corresponding evidence as the same category as claims about leprechauns. They are both philosophical/metaphysical claims.

. Jack Szostak is an experimental research scientist. He designs and performs laboratory experiments.

Then he should have known that undefined laws and flukes cannot be tested for. So he should have known he was speculating based on philosophical commitments.
