Faulty Research

“To ask a student to support an experiment on photosynthesis by looking up verses in a concordance that refer to the sun or to leaves is not only poor pedagogy; it is counter to, it possibly undoes, good pedagogy. It teaches wrong views of the Bible, for one thing—because photosynthesis is not a biblical concern. More important, it teaches students to read texts incorrectly, and a proper understanding of textual exegesis is absolutely central to all education.” (Piety and Philosophy, p. 88-89)
