Mini-ping. Not breaking news, but a reasonable overview ...

Yeah. I'm always in doubt about whether to ping the list for articles like this, or to hold off for some actual news (either scientific or political). So I'm asking for input. To ping, or not to ping.

but the knowledge gained can cause mental anguish if it contradicts a deeply cherished belief or value.

What I have stated many times here on FR. No different than the furvor caused by the idea of a heliocentric solar system so many moons ago.

To ping, or not to ping

Is that a quote from Mahler?

Let's see what Part 2 of the article looks like when it's published tomorrow, and see if it is pingable then? As I said, nothing new here -- but it's a good intro to the political dimension of the debate.

And given that there isn't any science to debate, the whole matter is a worrying bit of religious/political activism, and that is what really needs to be understood. It just isn't a "let's be fair and teach the controversary" issue at all
