Sal dropped off KCFS also. He had been doing drive-bys, mostly, but I had been trying to get him to offer some legitimate discussion on his claim that by employing a 10-letter "toy example" (his words) he could show how evolution should be erasing molecular hierarchies over time, and that their exixtence is a big problem. His respopnses for fluff and topic changes, primarily. He just didn't seem to get that 'mutating' a 10-letter sequence over 10 'generations' and 'erasing' a hierarchy is not quite the same thing as mutating a few nucleotides per generation in a genome of billions. |

It is an interesting phenomenon, the engineers-as-YEC/IDist thing. My two oldest nephews are engineers, and neither is a creationist (one has admitted in writing that he would not consider himself informed enough to even draw conclusions on the subject). Some of the most eloquent and information-packed anti-ID/creationism arguments/'defenses' of evolution I have seen have come from engineers. Yet, I think it is true, that at least as far as internet and 'professional' anti-evolutionists go, engineers take up a disproportionate number of slots in the 'big tent.' Take this guy, or this clown, or even old Sal Cordova. Not only do they convince themselves that they know more than they really do, they all ternd to use pretty much the same silly arguments - no new information (without ever really defining information in a meaningful way), too complex for 'chance', they 'know design' when they see it, etc. Odd... |

Its funny how the IDcreationists try to argue via (pseudo)authority. Pathetic, yes, but funny. Especially when one considers how they claim that 'credentials don't matter.' Unless, of course, it is their supposed credentials which, as we so often see, are totally irrelevant to the issues being discussed. |

Interestingly (ironically?) one of the new IDcreationist mantras is that the bland, imprecise, vague "this is so complex, it must have been designed" IS a 'prediction' and as AdR at ARN indicates, it is actually a 'predictive theory'. This was in response to discussions on how evolution researchers are often 'surprised' by their discoveries - you see, IDcreationists would never be surprised (if they actually did any research) because they 'predict' that their Designer can do anything... |

I have not followed the entire exchange, but if he is referring to his getting banned at PT, then David Scott Springer is a liar. "Random" names - no, he used MY name, a name he KNEW was real. He used it in an attempt to make me look bad. The irrational person he is, he glommed onto me for reasons unknown to me and began, among other things, of accusing me of being 'GWW'. Which was really odd, since I had only rarely posted at PT at all and when he started mentioning me, I had not even lurked at PT for some time. He knew exactly what he was doing, and he got caught. |

Problem with that is Dembski didn't seem to make many changes based on the rebuttals/critiques he got. Take his 'paper' on human evolutionin which he, like so many creationists, makes a direct analogy between DNA and written language. The flaws with that reasoning were pointed out by several people, yet it still made it into his final version. I guess when you have an 'argument' that the ignorant masses still swallow, you keep with it. And Bill "Ted Haggard of Information Theory" Dembski knows them all.... |

Well, until he has 'threatened' you, you just don't know Joe. You see, a few years ago, I was getting his goat pretty bad on the old OCW forum, and being the obsessive, anti-social, stalker kind of kook he is, he dug up my address, posted it, and declared that 'not everyone drives through Vermont to ski' ... Of course, I was not the only one he did this sort of thing to - at least two other people had their addresses (one, in I remember correctly, even had his wife's name posted) posted in sick, sad attempts at intimidation. Being perceived as 'right' is just so important to Joe G. I believe this was around the time that he claimed that he should be considered a 'scientist' because he had a B.S. in electronics engineering. |

Joe has a history of 'challenging' people to fight - and then, I'm sure you will be shocked - backing out. He used to write things like "I'm sure if we sat face to face, you would see things my way" when you explained to him that he was wrong about something. That, and the fact that he took to posting people's home addresses and making little threats, got a few of us at NAIG riled up a few years ago. I was on spring break, and as I live only 2.5 hours from Boston, I told Joe to name the time and place, providing it was before I had ot go back to work. Amazingly, Joe stopped posting for several days (after having posted a dozen or more times per day up to then), and the thread scrolled to the bottom of the page. The day before I have to go back to work, Joe starts posting in the scrolled-down thread about how he is ready 'any time'... He also pulled something similar with a poster that went by 'Skepticboy' and an other guy named Robert. He is s typical bully - bluff and bluster when he knows nothing will come of it. By the way - he has had back surgery... added in edit - and OA - forgot about that episode....  |

Among Cordova's many other problems - his dishonesty,his basic incompetence, etc. - is his inability to tell the difference between valid criticisms and the uninformed bilge tossed out by creationists with math, law, engineering, etc. degrees. Any old garbage, Sally old boy, is NOT in fact a valid criticism. Like, for example, using "toy examples" (Cordova's actual words) of strings of only 8 characters to "prove" that "time erases hierarchies." Why, amazingly, Cordova was able to "prove" this by using his amazing 8-character string, "mutating" one character each generation, and in only 8 generations, he 'erased' the 'molecular' hierarchy that did not even exist in the first place... What a 'tard. |

Sorry - it occurred at the old KCFS board. Sometimes he referred to 10-character strings, sometimes it was 8. It seemed to depend on how quickly he wanted to "disprove" evolution... See one iteration of his 'toy examples' here, where he adds a symbol ('character'  to his string each 'generation' and darned if he can't make a hierarchy out of it in short order...On page 2 of that thread, he introduces his 8-bit string. His cluelessness, obfuscation, incredulity, etc. are exhibited in full glory in that thread... |

I cannot decide if the creationists' continual reference to ReMine's application of Haldane's dilemma is pathetic or contemptible... Probably both? What no ReMine mongers (including Cordova) have ever addressed are, at least, what their answers to these very important questions are. Even if we consider an application of Haldane's model to be exactly as ReMine et al want it to be - that is, exactly as concocted in 1957, no exemptions, no modifications, no questions asked - they must answer: 1. What was the ancestral population - what traits did it possess such that the hallowed 1,667 fixed beneficial mutations cannot account for human evolution from this population? 2. How many beneficial mutations are required to produce each phenotypic change you claim is required? There are several others, along with these, that they will ignore (ReMine always blows off such questions claiming they are 'posturing' or misrepresentation), but without knowing at least the anwers to these questions, yammering on about a 'speed limit' and some particular number of 'allowable' fixed beneficial mutations is pure soliphistic mental masturbation followed by bragging about how good you are in bed... |

Anyway, here is a better scenario - a class watches a couple of IDcreationism advocacy videos, then reads the rebuttals to the claims made, then discusses the manner in which the videos presented the information - only in a pro-ID light, while ignoring or disnmissing any and all contrary evidence. Then the class discusses how slickly produced advocacy videos are tools for the deceptive to con the uninformed into adopting an at-best tenuous 'scientific' position that just happens to prop up an underlying religious belief. |

That Hunter is questioning the issue of a shared pentadactyly in marsupials and placental mammals is a clear indication that is really does not understand evolution very well. I knew this after encountering him at Infidels a few years ago - clueless, but as seems to be a requirement for the IDcreationist crowd, very, very sure of himself and the authenticity of his naive positions. (I know, I know - all those ad hominems - keep in mind, I am not using this to rebut his claims - that is easily and has been done by others - no, I am just pointing out the obvious) That none of his fellow IDers have taken him aside and explained the basics of the position HE is arguing says as much about them as it does him. This sort of covered-up incompetence is endemic in IDcreationist circles, from Dr.Cook to Dr.Wells to Dr. Hunter - titles clearly have little value when you pontificate on things you clearly do not get. The truly sad part is this - the bible -believin' audiences will take what he says at face value because he is, after all, DOCTOR Hunter, pro-IDcreationist. And yes - the establishment of pentadactyly in extant vertebrates goes back well before the split between marsupials and placentals. |

Mistake. "MISTAKE"???? A mistake is using "their" instead of "there", or writing "ilium" when you meant "ileum". Using the same picture to represent two different species is not a mistake, especially when the picture was clearly manipulated (mirrored) in order to do so. I mean, is it really that hard to Google Images for 'wolf'? I smell purposeful dishonesty, myself.

An interesting point. Years ago when I fist 'discovered' chat rooms (which I now avoid like the plague), I was chatting with a fellow in an 'atheism' room, and we decided to 'go private' (not that way). He was a fundy, and he at one point asked me what I would do if I found out my son was gay. I replied, "Beat him." As I was typing a follow up message - "Just kidding, of course." - he writes "Me too, I guess we are not all that different." I knew then that there are actually people that require fear of Hellfire to be decent people. Sad. |

So, do you think one has to be a genius to engage in 'rocket science'? I ask because, first of all, 'rocket scientists' are primarily engineers, which are applied scientists (that is, they take the primary research that others have done and apply it to particular problems). Sure, there are physicists involved, but I don't suspect it is terribly difficult to plug numbers into alread-developed formulae to figure things out, providing you have the appropriate training. Plus, I purchased this compendium of information on the Saturn 5 rocket - 4 DVDs with something like 16 hours of footage. And I was surprised to see how many failures there were on the project - valves not working and causing explosions, welds not holding, incorrect values being employed producing catastrophic failures in test engines and fuel tanks and all kinds of stuff. When you only focus on the successes, it sure is impressive to be called a 'rocket scientist'. If you look at the big picture, they re really no 'better' than any other scientist. And it is a HUGE misconception that biology is so easy. If that were the case, people like3 Dembski would not still be relying on asinine english language analogies. |

Then there is the issue that nobody has touched on yet... Perhaps those scoring well on ther MCAT are simply good at taking standardized tests? I find that standardized tests like the MCAT, SATs, and even GREs are fairly poor indicators of success. Sure, they have a role in assessment, but I've seen plenty of people who, for example, maxed (or very nearly maxed) the MCAT have to take remedial courses in medical school - I know, I used to have to teach some of them. I couldn't help but notive FTK's idiotic little quip. Maybe she should check this out.. Not that she will, of course - she gets her info from the Disco liars for Christ. |

Interestingly, Ilion has been posting more at ARN, most likely as a result of his banning at UD. I noticed this, and checked out the post re: Ilion on my blog and lo and behold, Davetard had left me a message: "I just banned Ilion from Uncommon Descent for making wild claims and no substance behind them. Out of curiosity I then googled his name and found the same assessment from Scott L. Page. We finally agree on something, Scott. Funny stuff." Yeah, funny. It is not that hard to see Ilion as the underinformed, overconfident gasbag he is. |

Unreal. A typical bully/coward. Reminds me of those kids in grade school that would call the bigger kids names, and when the bigger kids had finally had enough and went after him, he'd run and hide behind the teacher... What a Marine-pussy... Oh - Rich - why do I think Popper and Kuhn are overrated. First, neither (and, as far as I can tell, none of the 'biggie' philiosophers of science) actually had any experience in engaging in scientific pursuits. Sort of like some Joe Sixcpack couch potato who never played football screaming at a quarterback in the NFL "You suck! I could have done better than that!" Second, neither seem to accurately portray the manner in which science is actualy engaged in, and worse, according to some of their acolytes (Lakatos for example) science is basically worthless and no better at finding 'truth' than sociology. Several years ago (in the 1980s or 90s), there was a series of letters exchanged in Nature (I think - can't remember exactly right now) on the issue of the philosophy of science, and after the philosophers that were involved basically claimed science to be a farce (in so many words), a scientist replied to the effect that it was an interestign exchange on a topic that essentially means nothing. So, they can philosophize away, and I don't really think it will have much of an impact on anyone except those who are outside of science and read their work and think they can then dismiss anything claimed by scientists (which I have seen happen). |

Rich - I agree with the 'spirit' of the falsification criterion, but a direct application of it is unrealistic. That is, how often do scientists come up with an idea and say to themselves, "Hmmm... Now how can I go about falsifying this?" If it is not falsified, is it not science (this is a little claim of creationists on occasion - because ToE has not been falsified, it isnot scientific...)? If it is falsified, then what? A more realistic application - and what, as best I can tell, actually happens - is that any new observations/experiments done with regard to a new (or ol) hypothesis/theory are de facto attempts at falisification. That is, scientist X sets out to 'test' an idea in the hopes that the results will be supportive. It seems to be human nature. If the test ends up not comporting with the idea, then one would hope that scientist X reformulates his/her idea and tries again. I totally agree that any iteration of this is anathema to creationists, but that wasn't my point. My point is that the 'biggie' philosophers of science took things to an illogical extreme in many cases, and so have been over-relied upon in many cases. |

I'm not sure what to make of the creationist fixation on what they perceive as name caling and insults. I wonder if they even read the material that their own side produces, and if so, if they perceive any negativity, incivility, etc. in it. Most likely not. It is that whole 'framing' thing - when an evilutionist tells a creationist he'she is closed-minded and ignorant, that is incivil, rude, name calling. When a creationist says the same thing to an evilutionist, it is okey-dokey because it is 'the truth.' The saddest part is, they truly do not seem capable of seeing their hypocrisy. |

[quote=Ftk,April 12 2007,17:30][/quote] FTK:
Perhaps if you would stop writing about things that you do not know much about as if you knew a lot about them, you would not hear that so much?
Perhaps because that was not what the debate was about? When one looks at the 'scientific' ID meetings - the ones at which they don't invite critics - they don't really discuss science, either. Why is that? Don't you think that a big meeting of the big names in IDcreationism on the 'science' of ID might garner some actual scientific discussion, as opposed to, I don't know, mock interviews by Lee Strobel, of the typical 'Darwin=Hitler' garbage that tends to be the focal points of these things? Recall, FTK, that ID's own 'peer-reviewed' journal, PCID, has not even been published since 2005! THE ID advocates cannot possibly claim 'anti-ID conspiracy' there, can they?
Ahy yes, that old conservative machismo... Because, after all, 'debates' are how real science is done... at least when opne side does no scientific research of any type - all that is left is public spectacles to woo the fence sitters with flowery rhetoric and fire-up the hard-core supporters. Perhaps the SMU faculty could invite - challenge - the ID propagandists to discuss the issues face-to-face any time, anywhere... Than, when they take up the offer, the SMU faculty could claim that they can suddenly only meet at specific times that will not be convenient for the IDcreationists, and warn them about their dogs... and their concealed weapons... and their call to the cops... and their chain saws... and how they are all built like football players - no, middleweight boxers... Because apparently that sort of thing is the antithesis of cowardly in religious conservative circles.
How about we all wait until the well-funded DI actually produces some verifiable research supportive of their bombastic claims, instead of reading their bravado and rhetoric about public 'debates' and op-eds written by lawyers and theologians?
What is to debate? The DI clowns will declare evolution caused Nazism, that Peppered moths were glued to trees, that Behe is the greatest scientist ever, that Dembski - despite being unable to hold down a job for any length of time - is the greatest Information Theorist ever, that Jon Wells, Spetner, Meyers, etc. disproved evolution, and then when asked what thye have that actuially SUPPORTS thier position scientifically, they will say, Why, we just old you! What is to 'debate'? Will the stacked audience really stop and think about what is being explained to them - between 'Amens', that is? Open your eyes. Public debates are for people that have no legitimate scientific support on their side.
You are conflating a couple of issues here, deary. There is a difference between making 'accusations' against "design" and calling out the antics of the Intelligent Design Creationism movement. The Movement doesn't seem able to support their claims at all, not scientifically, so they rely on public spectacles and appeals to the masses. They are, as Wes writes, snake oil salesmen.

I don't see anyone saying that Springer's arguments are wrong because he clearly has a distorted self image. His arguments have been shown to be lacking because they are not logical, are premised on unwarranted extrapolations and distortions, and his basic misunderstanding of most of the issues he pontificates on. As has been pointed out, his appearance is 'ridiculed', if that is the right word, because he has made himself out to be some sort of paragon of masculine virility and he clearly is not. Knocking down the braggart, as it were. |

I've been following the whole 'baraminology' thing since about 1998 (I've got some stories, ooo....), and I can safely say that, IMHO, the entire thing is a system established to 'disprove': 1. human relatedness to anything else (i.e., specially created status to be 'proven') 2. macroevolution IN some of their earlier papers, baraminologists opted to use subjective, biologically irrelevant data to rely on when doing phylogenetic analyses to show that you can use standard phylogenetic analyses to show a discontinuity between humans and other primates - they rejected the analyses done using molecular, anatomical, and chromosomal data is favor of - and I am serious - whether or not monogamous pair bonds are formed, population density, dwelling type, etc. Pretty blatantly non-scientific, if you ask me... |

He also went so far as to post the name of another guy's wife and phone numbers of a couple of people. It was only AFER he did those things that efforts were made to find out who he was.

I admit, I was granted tenure and I have far fewer publications that Gonzalez (but many more than Wells and Dembski) and have never even received a major research grant (I have received a few small ones). Then, I am not at a major research institution, do not claim to be or present myself as a major researcher, have not claimed (implicitly or explicitly) to have overturned a major scientific theory or to have provided material support for a fringe ideology. Nor have I ignored the course catalog description of a class and instead taught my preferred fringe ideology. Tenure is no guarantee, even if you publish, even if you have grants. As others have pointed out, there is much more to it. While I was in grad school, one of the profs in my dept. was up for tenure. She had dozens of publications, had recently received a big NSF grant, taught several courses, etc., yet was denied tenure. I know a major researcher at Harvard that has never received tenure yet has been there for decades. For the ID crowd to whine about this is to yet again display their intellectual limitations, their spoiled child attitude, and their condescending hubris. |

But there is a difference between using different names at different places (a means to shake off the stalkers) and intentionally employing the known name of another person. Or don't you think so? I once encountered an IDcreationist on a board who actually not only used 2 different names on the board, but he used them at the same time, and what is more, one of his personas claimed the other was a former room mate, and the room mate heaped praise upon the other's antievolution claims. When the site owner spilled the beans, the creationist actually tried to justify it all. Odd how the cretin mind 'works.' |

Dave Springer gave you a textbook? Did he have you begging him to father a child, also? No, really - let me guess, it is some freshman biology text? And reading with the intent to learn, not find fault (as I am sure you are doing) will amke you some sort of expert, right? That is what Springer thinks, I am sure. Which explains why so many of his claims are just plain stupid...
I don't really care, but if a person claims to have done something and it is later found out not to have happened, it says a bit about the person's integrity.
And did you know that 400-level courses on molecular biology or parasitology or immunology use the same introductory texts? its true! And grad students? Same intro level texts. Its amazing, isn't it...
And do you ask the same questions of Walt Brown's assertions? I know that you do not. You accept the rants of creationists without question. Hypocrite. |

And what, exactly will you say in the court of law? Will you demand to be allowed to show an advocacy video and then declare that all who do not agree that this is, indeed, a 'Privileged Planet' must be stupid or lying? I'm sure that will sway the court. Will you threaten the judge or jury be finding out their home addresses and claiming that not everyone drives through their town to ski (or whatever it is that their areas might be known for)? Yes, I am sure THAT will convert all to your side. Will you declare that all evidence for evolution is just evidence for common design? I'm sure all will see the pure logic and irrefutability of that. Actually, I do sort of hope that you are a witness in an ID court case some day. I eagerly look forward to seeing you publicly humiliated in such a setting. I promise to gloat for years. |

Actually, he mentioned that 'not everyone drives through (my town) to go skiing.' This was after he had oh-so-cleverly put my address in his signature line. It was as if he thought those who he threatened would just retract all of our statements and declare his every utterance truth and factual because we would be all a-scared of him or something. Also, while Robert Rapier was involved in the discussions at the time, and Joe had 'challenged' him to come say things to his face and such, he did not contact Joe's employer, and I do not know who did. Generally, I am against such activities (as I have actually had creationists threaten to contact my colleagues and my employer not because I threatened them - I have never done anything like that - but because I showed them to be wrong, ignorant, etc.), but in Joe's case, I think the fact that he was making threats from his place of work (he was also posting as two people at the time, claiming that his 'alter ego' was a coworker, one 'Cool Hand Luke', who also tried to intimidate people he disagreed with) to multiple people warranted some sort of intervention. It wasn't as if tempers flared and one discussant writes 'I'll kick you ass!", he was actively stalking people, posting personal information about them on the net, and making implicit threats, all because he could not handle the fact that he was (and still is) too underinformed on the issues he tried to discuss and was put in is place. He also tried to 'arrange' meetings between himself and one 'Skeptic boy' and I at least 2 other people if I remember correctly, and each time, he mysteriously stopped posting for several days. On one occasion, he actually claimed to have been at the place that where one of these 'meetings' was to take place, but he was unable to describe the place. He is s typical bully. A coward at heart. By the way - just in case anyone might need such information, he let it slip one time that he had had surgery on his lower back... |

Hunter:
What an ignorant fool. He must have gone to the Paul Nelson school of molecular phylogenetics. Nelson once claimed that the order in which a taxon is placed in a dataset and then aligned will dictate its position in the phylogeny, that experimenter bias essentially produces the desired outcome. So, I took a dataset that I had been working on at the time, scrambled the order of the taxa in the alignment, coded their names, and removed all gaps. I offered to send him this dataset, provided links to free software with which he could align them himself, and to free phylogenetic software that he could then run his dataset through. I wrote that if his outcome was different than the outcomes that I got with that dataset, then he might have a point worth discussing. But... Darn it, he just didn't have the time... ... to test his claim.... But he went right on making it. The more I read, the more I am convinced that these people are just plain old pathological liars. |

[quote=Ftk,Sep. 27 2007,08:32][/quote] FtK who is ignoring me because I am such a meanie troll:
And because you have talked to him, he is right? What a strange position to hold. It is fairly common among creationists, I would add. For example, I recall discussing some of Jon Wells' lies and distortions on the old CARM board, and a creationist there, Helen Fryman, steadfastedly defended him, and the primary defense was that she "knew the man" and had sat down and had dinner with him (at creationist meetings), therefore, she knew he was right. It didn't seem to matter that he described pharyngeal pouches as ridges, or that he quote mined Jain, Lake and Rivera. Oh no - she 'knew' him, thus he is always correct and honest. I don't care how long Brown claims to spend 'in the field', the fact of the matter is that he is way out of his league on any number of subjects he pontificates about, whether you have 'talked to' him or not. I posted some of the flaws in his biological claims on KCFS, for example, and you totally ignored them, but doubtless because you 'know the man' you will just 'know' that he is right and anyone daring to question his claims is just an arrogant atheist...
What would change, exactly? I've exchanged pleasant emails with Jerry Bergman and he seems like a very nice fellow. But he is still a dishonest and incompetent propagandist. I used to think that Paul Nelson was a good guy, also, after several pleasant email exchanges I had with him, then I discovered that he was in cahoots with Woodmorappe and has engaged in some smear tactics against those on the 'dark side.' So maybe Walt Brown is a hell of a guy - how does that possibly impact the error of his claims? Looks like you ascribe to the George W. Bush doctrine of placing loyalty to an ideal over competence. It worked wonders for FEMA and DoD and EPA and the AG's office, etc...
And thus evolution must be wrong. Brilliant! |

I don't think so. At my University, when a person comes up for tenure one of the first steps is for their department to review their materials and openly discuss their merits. Then there is a departmental vote on whether or not the chair should recommend the person to the dean for tenure. Depending on the chair's input, the dean then sends the materials to the promotion and tenure committee, members of which have the authority to ask for additional information form any party involved. If everything is in order, the committee approves the application and sends it to the Provost for final approval (it then goes to the president and the board of trustees). I suspect that the process is similar at other institutions. If the decision of the committe is appealed, then here it goes to the President, who can also gather more information, including testimony. It is all fairly open, expect for, for example, the committee deliberations themselves (however, minutes of the meetings are avilable afterwards). So, unless there are legal reasons for gagging those involved, the process is generally pretty open, again at least at my institution. |

Yes, but they are not proteins. Google expertise is not real expertise.
Yet you wrote that alleles are variations of proteins, so clearly you don't. If it had been a mere misstatement, then you would have had no problem admitting the error and moving on. But you actually expanded on the error: No, I actually mean allele. An allele is a variant of the same protein. Somewhere in the genome there is a protein that controls for eye color. One variant produces blue eyes, the other produces brown eyes. Likely the allele producing green eyes is a third allele of the same protein. And now you are attempting to minimize/equivocate by offering up some Wiki expertise (that still seems to ignore the resources Wes provided).

Indeed. This reliance upon 'toy' examples has a long history in the IDcreationist realm. I am reminded of Cordova's insistence that his "toy example" (his words) of molecular phylogenetics - employing a whopping 10 letters, 'mutating' 1 per round of 'evolution', and showing that after only a few such rounds, hierarchies were impossible to make - proved that molecular phylogenetics was unrelaiable and also, of course, that somehow this showed evolution was wrong. This occurred on the old version of the KCFS forum. To employ a hackneyed phrase, it wasn't even wrong, and here we have a simulator violating Borel's theorem right before the creationist's eyes. Amazing. In the end, my 'predicition' was right - you just have a higher tolerance for arrogant ignorance. :p |

Well, of course. That is what these people do. I mentioned Warren Bergerson (aka 'LifeEngineer')above - surely most of us remember him? If not, he is a retired actuary who claimed for years that he had disproved evolution using 'actuarial math.' And, after years of claiming this, it was drawn out of him, on ARN, that he had in fact never done any calculations at all, he just "knew" that if he had done so, it would have disproved evolution. After some prodding, he finally revealed his math on Terry Trainor's MSN group, Talkorigins (note that the guy that pointed out Bergerson's stupidity was eventually railroaded and banned - just like what happens at UD). His claims were challenged, and he ended up changing his formulae and inputs 3 times when shown to be in error (never admitting it, of course), each time coming up with the same answer. That is, he rigged the formulae repeatedly to get the results he wanted, to include doing a simple probability calculation backwards. Same thing with this UD denizen. He's just making it up as he needs it to be. |

The student body where I work is generally conservative. I am developing an evolution class, but only a few of our classes directly touch on the subject. I've been here 8 years, and only twice had people question me directly about it, and only once have a student make anoffhand comment about it. One question blew me away - not THAT the question was asked, but when. I was teaching a comparative anatomy of the vertebrates class. The first week is all background material - a brief overview of anatomical terms and the historical treatment of the field, then a day or two on why comparative anatomy even makes sense - evolution. Can't cover much in 2 class periods, so I hit the basics - concepts like homology, cladistics, fossil record, etc. So, we are about 10 weeks into the semester, doing dissections in lab one day, and this student, totally out of the blue, says, "Do you really believe in evoluton?" I was taken aback - why was she asking this NOW? Several students within earshot started paying attention, so I used it as a teaching opportunity (it was a class, after all). I explained the difference between 'believing' it and acceoting it, and explained why, from my perspective, I accepted it. She wasn't convinced, but she did not seem to be in a position to argue about it, at least she let the subject drop. But I generally only discuss the subject (cre v. evo) with colleagues. |

I suspect that, like many right-wing bible thumps, for lackwits like FtK, a lack of explicit endorsement of conservative Christianity is interpreted as hostility toward it. I took many classes in several colleges, at least 2 of which were taught by people I knew to be atheists, and religion was never discussed at all in their classes. The only class I can remember religion coming up in at all was an American Gov't class I took, and it was a religious student that broached the subject, not the teacher. While I am sure that there are atheist professors out there who belittle religion in their classes, I also know that there are plenty of religious professors who use their classrooms as evangelizing tools. I took a few classes at a community college in Lansing Michigan in the late 1980s and the physiology instructor, one 'Roscoe Root', was an evangelical who not only routinely took out full page ads in the school newspaper decrying either abortion or evolution, but also declared in his classes that evolution was false (even though he taught no classes that dealt directly with evolution). I know several students who had complained about his open prosyletizing, but nothing was ever done. He was never expelled. I'd bet FtK would see nothing wrong with what ol' Roscoe did. And, ol' Roscoe does his part in proclaiming the impossibility of evolution on the RAE TV show: Program Number: 141 The Mystery of Life Guests: Roscoe Root Date Produced: 07/17/1998 Run Time: 29:29 Program Description: Roscoe Root discusses the inability of genetics to explain the origin of new species.

Well, johnnyb is Jon Bartlett, a creationist computer programmer (what else?) in case you didn't know. He has championed the 'no new information' routine, Haldane's dilemma (ran away from a discussion I tried to have with him on it to Fred William's draconian-moderated board where he whined about it all), dino-man coexistence... Typical numbskull YEC with an engineering background who therefore thinks he knows everythying. Frankly, I find engineering boring. |

I learned FtK's truse nature very quickly and treated her in the appropriate manner and was vilified for it by some on our own side - some who now are 'meaner' to her than I ever was. It's funny - I often seem to be ahead of the curve on these types of things and I often get kicked around for it, only to see those doing the kicking doing the same things I was kicked for later on. My most famous example - about 13-14 years ago, on the first incarnation of the Internet Infidels forum, PZ Myers chided me for being so vocal a YEC-basher. The times they change, eh? |

Yes, Alonso is a sleazeball. Knew that when I first encountered him on the old KCFS board several years ago.

'Mike Gene' also has/had the aol screen name nucacids. As many sockpuppet creationists do, he actually appeared on one of the newsgroups as nucacids referring to mikebgene in the third person, heaping praise upon 'his' claims and such. It was soon discovered that nucacids was mikebgene, and he gave some lame excuse for pretending not to be himself. If one has the stomach and time to waste - and if the archives were not purged* - one can peruse the less-frequented ARN forums and see 'Mike Gene' reveal his true, right-wing ID/creationist ideology in less guarded moments. *ARN had an odd history of having 'oopsie!' moments that resulted in massive deletions of posts. Just a big coincidence/mistake, though... |

Quick call DoD and have them change their present submarine propellers (probably greater than 60% shaft efficient) for a rigid helical coil. The fact that a biological life form has optimized a function to a certain theoretical maximum has nothing to do with ID.
