By the way, in a similar fashion to my recent response to Marcus, I could also ascribe “Charlatan” to certain folks here and I truly believe I’d be in the right in doing so. Would I actually do that?

“Scott Gordon” wrote:Really Tyler? There are reasons that people might want to leave the church, but I would hope that the CES letter is not one of them. There's a little problem with being factually inaccurate. If 1 of my students wrote that they would get an F for their research. It's like claiming a Dan Brown novel is actually true.
A couple of thoughts here. First, Gordon implies that there are *better* reasons for leaving the Church than the CES Letter. This is a stunning admission. What are these “reasons,” one wonders? Second: “claiming that a Dan Brown novel is actually true” is no different that claiming that the Book of Mormon is “real history.” Gordon, in any case, comes across as a weasel. Livingston, however, isn’t having any of it:

Meanwhile, Stephen Smoot and DCP continue their war with their fellow Latter-day Saints: Jonathan Neville and the Heartlanders.
Doctor, I wonder if Scott, with his high academic standards and all, would also give an F grade to students who tried passing off the kind of research submitted by Team Bayes, which remains prominently featured at Interpreter. You know, the “research” which each author refused to have audited by a BYU stats professor, even for $10,000? Hypocrisy it seems is not without a sense of irony.
