Reader ReviewsThe author of Quest for Right, C. David Parsons, presents the first installment of seven potential high school textbooks. Their purpose is to rewrite all of science--not just one or two sciences, but all of them. Some of the things he addresses are the removal of the electron from Atomic Theory, deletion of the Periodic Chart of the Elements from chemistry, the complete revision of the Earth's structure and origin from geology and, because they are the name of mythological gods, he has renamed all the planets and moons to suit himself. You would suppose that one who fancies himself a scientist, he calls himself a "Scientist Extraordinaire" in the book, would adhere to the rules of science and present voluminous amounts of evidence to back up his hypotheses. If so, you would be wrong. There is absolutely no evidence presented and likewise not a single reference in the entire First volume. As an example of the inappropriateness of these books for high school textbooks, he has included as part of the curriculum the very difficult physics subject of quantum mechanics. How many high school students are ready for a calculus-based subject? It is then surprising that he addresses the entire subject of mathematics with disdain, calling it mathematical incantations, and refrains from using mathematics to any significant degree. By his own admission, he bases his entire line of hypotheses upon his interpretation of the Bible. The author, although he has been informed of the historicity of teaching creationism in the schools--in 1982 for instance, the Supreme Court struck down the teaching of creationism for all time by a vote of 7-2, is not dissuaded from introducing his vanity published "Quest for Right." His most objectionable undertaking is to rewrite several verses of the Bible. He has changed some of the most poetic verses into very boring, silly prose to suit his interpretation of the Bible.
