The “comment” about the “Quest For Right” books is bogus it’s an advertisement posing as a comment. Like the books, the comment is pseudoscientific babble, with no information content and no scientific validity whatsoever.The author of the comment, C. David Parsons (self-described “biblical scholar and scientist extraordinare”), is also the author of this bogus “vanity-press type” publication, which is typical Young Earth Creationist pseudoscience. It is not real science in any sense of the word.Read the QOR advertising website, http://questforright.com: The only really positive review is from one preacher – not a scientist. Another review is from the publisher (!), which is a “pay-for-publishing (=”vanity press”) publisher: “Tate Publishing & Enterprises, LLC, is a Christian based, family owned, main-line publishing organization with a mission to discover and market unknown authors.” – http://www.tatepublishing.com/index.php.Tate apparently “markets” only to small specialty Christian bookshops. Tate is by no means an actual scientific publishing house. The slick ads and website for QOR are probably part of Tate’s marketing ploy. Tate also gets very bad press at http://www.writers.net/forum/read/13/8577/8577VfQOR's website, “http://questforright.com,” was registered almost three years ago, on March 20, 2005, by “David Parsons” (possibly the QOR author, “C. David Parsons”?) of Smyrna, GA. The e-mail contact for the “questforright.com” website is “sales@bradleybuildings.com” of Smyrna, GA. The e-mail contact for the “bradleybuildings.com” website is “Clarence Parsons, bradleybuildings@aol.com.” Any guesses on whether “C. David Parsons” is also “Clarence Parsons”?

Someone from that group left a similar comment at the Statesman's Editorial Board blog the other day.

Make sure you go check out the website of the group that the Homeschooling Mother who is now the Chair of the SC State Board of Education belongs to. She was instrumental (at least it seems so) in asking for the critiques of the textbooks by those two morons.

Oh, MAN! Did you go to the website “The Quest for Right” alluded to that stupid comment?You, as a member of the Scientific Counsel are a FREAKIN’ PAGAN who uses your worship of Cybele to develop your lies about the evolution of the eye and cover up the truth about Quantum Mysticism.I should probably disavow my affiliation with you if I do intend to run for School Board in Mounds View.
