A Science-Based Look At Diversity

One can't avoid the mantra of diversity being good if exposed in any significant way to progressive media. Let's take an objective look at this.

Cultural Diversity: We all come into existence within a particular culture that may or may not be harmful to others. As long as the individuals within the culture are not responsible for harm, there should not be a rejection of them. ACCEPTING INDIVIDUAL CULTURAL DIVERSITY IS VALID

Racial Diversity: This should not be an issue at all, as race is not a scientific reality but a human construct. ACCEPTING THIS PERCEIVED DIVERSITY IS VALID

Religious and Political Diversity: One first has to ponder why there is diversity in such. Most folks are indoctrinated into a particular religion and political point of view as a child. Since most are never educated about critical thinking/skepticism, most folks just accept what they are taught by their family and culture. 

The reason why there is so much religious and political diversity is that most people do not use science-based thinking to understand reality. They rely on feelings, intuition, testimony, and media that may or may not be true. Compare this to science. Initially, there IS diversity. However, the various points of view (hypotheses) are analyzed through observation and/or experimentation. From this process, opinions shown not to be supported by sufficient evidence are discarded and a provisional consensus is usually formed. The stronger the evidence, the stronger the consensus. THE FINDINGS OF SCIENTIFIC METHODS ARE NOT DIVERSE. 

THE MORE DIVERSE OPINIONS ARE ON A TOPIC, THE GREATER CHANCES OF ERROR. Religious and conservative political views are not valid.

Religious Diversity Is Not Related To Stronger Religious Participation

"Diversity is now simply a fact of American religious life. It does not signal the end of religion, but it may make it easier for Americans to abstain from religious involvement and encourage other types of spiritual and philosophical explorations. It may also make atheists more willing to “come out,” something that can be exceedingly difficult especially in very religious communities.

Religious Diversity May Be Making America Less Religious
