THE CONTROVERSY SECTION IS STOLEN WORK. PLEASE REMOVE IT.
I have removed the "controversy" section at the bottom of the entry. It was taken without permission from an unpublished paper of mine. Please do not put it back up. If someone wants to make the claim of a controversy please utilise published, non-plagarised work.
According to what can only be called as the authoritative biography of Steward by Virginia Kerns (2003 University of Illinois Press), much of the information in this entry is incorrect. Please remove it until a new one can be added. It does no service to anyone to promote incorrect information. For example, beginning with the first sentence, Steward was not born into a family of devote Christian Scientists. His mother converted to Christian Science when Steward was 9 years old. This event seemed to precipitate his parents' divorce and motivated much of his work against religion (Kerns 2003: 19-26). Kerns' book corrects many inconsistencies, errors, and impossibilities in Shimkin (1964), Manners (1973), and Murphy (1977, 1981).
If you feel the entry on Steward is in error, then you should, as someone familiar with authoritative sources, correct it yourself. That is how wikipedia works Rex 03:32, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
