You seriously just cited something from the Discovery Institute, a group that believes a book trumps scientific evidence? They have a strong agenda that includes homeschooling. The article you cited is not research, it's an internally created, non-peer reviewed meta review. Not exactly high quality material.
I'm not saying your argument is necessarily wrong, just that you found some of the worst possible material to support it.
- Spyro7 15y agoMy apologies. I never intended anyone to take the Discovery Institute paper as anything more than just a casual study of the subject (by a biased party). I certainly did not want to present it as academically rigorous on any level or as an unbiased look at the subject. I thought that I had made this clear in my original post by using the word "study" rather than "research" or "peer-reviewed study". I really meant for it to be taken as more of a narrative account than an actual research paper. Unfortunately, it is now far too late for me to amend my original post to make this more clear. In my defense, I typed up my post in a blaze of coffee-fueled self-righteous indignation. Mistakes tend to happen a lot when you shoot from the hip like that.
