The METHODOLOGY of scientifiec studies, should always be he center deciding the VALIDITY
of a acientific study.

Articles that CLAIM that some study thoses that a drug is dangerous, are VERY DIFFERENT
than examinations of the methdology of the studies themselves.

ALSO, (as with all studies dealing with behaviour that Christians should consider to be part of the
Christian moral-ethical code, should be be sorted out as MORAL-ETHICAL issues, and not simpley be dealt
with as if they were merely secular examinations of methodologies of some process.

That is, when Christians read articles claiming that "some data shows that some process is
harmful...", Christians must examine BOTH issues. Is the process compatible with the Christian faith?
Is the process compatible with the objective standards of scientific research?

Many of the studies that RFK proposes as "good", I assert, do not meet the rigor of
scientific studies. And,RFK, I assert, has made a buisiness of pushing shoddy studies that do
not meet modern scientific standards, but that emotionally appeal to one group or another.
---------- --------
I think that it would be more important for Christians to focus on the METHODOLOGY OF RH STUDIES,
AND ON THE MORAL-ETHICAL CHRISTIAN DOCTRINES that the studies address, rather than on
a narrower look at ONLY the methodology or the theological importance of the study.
