Err.. you claimed they equivocated, then backpedalled and claimed that the fine-tuning argument is not a statement of probability, and asserted that conditioning on "brittleness" would change the outcome. The demonstration of any of this has apparently been lost in the mail. If that's "doing OK", I shudder to think what your "doing badly" looks like.

Sure, IF. I'm glad you posted Berlinski's response (which I had not read before): it's quite telling, albeit not in the manner you think it is. Again, I encourage interested readers to compare Berlinski's complaints to the paper itself and evaluate.

This professed admiration of yours for Moran's high standards of conduct might ring a little truer if you were not a documented hypocrite, troll, bigot and liar.

So do I: that we're stuck with the likes of afdave and you is depressing. I would be delighted if some higher-grade pseudoscientists had the stones to operate in a forum like this.
