Is anybody searching for compounds that reduce evil intent? Something that would mellow people out without causing hallucinations. A mass tranquilizer? Not effective against lone operatives but able to be deployed against an invading army.

So do you critics of the article adhere to the belief that the current state of the universe is predictable from the initial state and the laws of physics?
Does that prediction take time? If it doesn't, if it is instantaneous, it's just a hand-waving god. If the prediction for any given instant takes trillions of years, it's meaningless.
How am I supposed to see it as anything other than an obstinate adherence to a principle, an unfalsifiable dogma?
