[QUOTE="ExploringSikhi, post: 192581, member: 19734"] [SIZE=2]I am surprised we are having this discussion now. Evolutionary psychology and evolutionary biology, from my own readings, seem to go hand-in-hand. If we are doubting the psychology today, does that mean it is not long before people on this thread start doubting the validity of evolution itself? I would be very surprised if it did happen, considering that Sikhism teaches reason and logic, I get the feeling the only reason evolutionary psychology is now being doubted in this thread is emotional, but not wanting it to be true doesn't make it any more false. I could just as easily link these: [URL]http://www.pitt.edu/~machery/papers/Discovery_and_Confirmation_in_Evolutionary_Psychology_FINAL.pdf[/URL] [URL]http://whyevolutionistrue.wordpress.com/2012/12/10/is-evolutionary-psychology-worthless/[/URL] Here are 2 excerpts from that last link: "[/SIZE][FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Now I am known as a critic of evolutionary psychology, and I [I]have[/I] been quite critical."[/SIZE] [SIZE=3]"I have to admit, though, that as the field has evolved, I’ve become less critical of it as a whole.
