No, there is no scientific experiment in the history of humanity that can identify, quantify, verify the nature of art, charity, mercy, or creativity.
We are welcome to speculate about them, but that is not scientific confirmation.

How The Brain Is Affected By Art
A lot is happening both in the mind and the body when we make art, and it can be used for therapeutic means, both in rehabilitation medicine and on your own. Christianne Strang, a professor of neurosciences at the University of Alabama Birmingham and former president of the American Art Therapy Association says: “Creativity in and of itself is important for remaining healthy, remaining connected to yourself and connected to the world,”

Define "Orthodox Christinity"
I don't know about hanging, but he would have been denied professional employment and have been socially outcast.
Lot's of things were taboo in 17th century England.
Atheism
Homosexuality
Animism
Women in the professions
Women in the arts and sciences
My two cents is that it is bad historical analysis to pat ourselves on the back for our 21st century social mores and conventions. In 500 years, people might be horrified at some of the things we do.

Of course they will
We still do a lot of evil shit
But mankind keeps trying to create a more perfect union with our existence
The founders recognized that and wanted to nurture it

Absolutely. He said mechanism is not merely useful, but is true.

The only way we gain knowledge is by reason and observation. Do you know of any other way?

Some people think God speaks to them directly and tells them the truth.
Those are studies on the human mind, they are not experiments on art.
Humans have known for 50,000 years that we have an emotional response to art. No scientific experiment is needed to tell me that.
That is not a scientific explanation of the nature of art, which is not quantifiable and no subject to rigorous scientific tests.
There is no science that can quantify and explain the music of Mozart or the art of Michelangelo.
I am not saying they are installed by a God. I don't know where they come from or what they mean in the grand scheme of things
I also don't think humility, charity, temperance, mercy are emotions.
The are learned social behaviors which are cultivated, and tend to vary in time, space, and culture.
Michelangelo's Pieta gives me a knowledge of beauty and truth without the aid of analytical reason or scientific experimentation.
That altruism. Charity is something you have no expectation of ever directly benefitting from
I feed ground squirrels every day, and I do not see them practice charity, though they undoubtedly practice some kind of altruism with their offspring, possibly their mates.
