Your statement: "excluding things that don't conform to our preconceptions doesn't work" is certainly not in the spirit of facts, evidence and science.
However, my philosophical component: that "All wars begin with lies". Is
most firmly based in fact, evidence and science and one more item that the
enlightened tend to ignore as if it dose not exist and that is TRUTH.
[Gk. philosophos = lover of wisdom] and [Christian = lover of truth and Christ].
And one more thing that needs mentioning - It takes far more courage to face the truth then it dose to toy with facts, evidence and science.
