...be coincidence? For example I was looking up the effects of video games on the brain, and more recent neutral scientific studies have been more positive saying that video games unlike TV exercise the brain due to all the problem solving, memorization and focus. These studies showed that it can cause the brain to be more efficient in problem solving etc., and one study scanned the brain activity as people learned how to play a game and showed that new connections are made between areas of the brain. As well they learned that people with bigger brains are better at video games then people with small brains.

Yet then I see other studies conducted by christian groups, or MAVGV(mother against video game violence) That show obvious bias and draw bold conclusions such as video games cause children to become more psychotic and violent. Another stated that video games rot children's brains and cause them to become dumber. Yet they never say exactly how the studies were conducted and what they used to measure the child's behavior or ability.
- How is this a Scientific study? It seems more like a fake study to confirm a groups stance or belief. (doesn't seem scientific at all, seems more like scare tactics and lies)

So explain how that's considered scientific?
