"A careful reading...should be required of all who wish to get a university degree...In the Internet age...people...should make every effort toward two gaols: To spread good scientific metionads for evaluating truth claims, and to help nurture enlightened traditional worldviews....This set does much in the direction of acheiving the first goal."
