If the author’s intention was to show the dubious quality of research in these fields, wouldn’t a better approach have been to select high impact articles from prestigious journals in the fields which they believed exemplified the problem, and then written rebuttals/critiques arguing why they are flawed?
- rule_follower 8y agoIf the particular research is non-falsifiable and the critic is convinced the entire field is not an academic discipline at all but a cult with its entirely own internal logic with no relation to reality, how would an objective rebuttal be constructed? Is the right way for atheists to engage with religious scholars to critique the most nonsensical output of theologians?
