There must really be something wrong in how these people reason. This 100% procedure as far as I can tell goes something like this. Here are three strings. A) The rock fell on the IDiots head but it was ok because there was no damage. B) 2348905urwe8o0asfjw80435u8023u45890wr4jfe9-0ui5904wuir09efu093wu845890reu804 C) The cat sat on the mat. His "procedure" seems to be to ask somebody to determine which, if any, of those strings are non-random. I shit you not.   Quote Again: we test dFSCI with a set of long enough strings. Some of them are designed and meaningful, some of them are generated randomly. We know the origin of each string (if it was designed or randomly originated) because we have direct knowledge of how they were produced. Then we take some independent observer, who knows nothing about the origin of the strings, and ask him to infer desing, or not, using the evaluation of dFSCI for those strings. He will recognize the designed strings, with 100% specificity. Thius is the very simple meaning of my #5: an empirical test where dFSCI can easily recognize designed strings from non designed strings. Empirical test, nothing more. http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelli....-436413 He then says:   Quote If even Zachriel can’t see that there is no circularity in the dFSCI procedure, after I have given him explicit examples of how it is empirically capable of distinguishing designed strings from non designed strings with 100% specificity, then there is really no hope. There must really be something wrong in how these people reason. I knew that cognitive bias is strong and powerful in humans, but I really believed that it can be partially controlled in intelligent and goodwilled people. Evidently, that is not always the case. Just wow. Hey, Gpuccio, I think my next project will be a "is this string designed or not" website. Given that you have a 100% perfect method of determining design or not you'll clean up. But I suspect not. As gpuccio himself says: Quote There must really be something wrong in how these people reason. If their reasoning is so poor then how come you are on the pissant blog bitching about people who actually get published on a regular basis and not just in books? Someone needs to tell Joe about this. All this time and Joe was saying that me asking him to do this was NOT what ID was about and ID didn't have to to this.  Now we see that it is important to ID. I bet no one says anything. Hey Joe, how does it feel to be shown to be wrong by both sides of the argument? -------------- Ignored by those who can't provide evidence for their claims. http://skepticink.com/smilodo....retreat

Any of you worked with old-time coders? "Mung" in some circles means modify/mash until no good, that is, make so many little changes to the code so that it is irreversibly damaged. If Mung turns out to be the deepest of all socks, a million internets to you, sir. You Munged UD. In college "mung" was the name for the substance that collected under and behind our industrial-sized stove, grill, and deep fat fryer after being used to feed 60 guys for a semester. It was . . . unwholesome.

oldmanintheskydidntdoit Posts: 4999 Joined: July 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Oct. 14 2012,17:19    Joe defines ID away: Quote According to the reigning paradigm, specifics are not a requirement. However what is communicated would be 1- what everyone has and 2- what is required to ensure the survival of at least one in the population. And variation is what is required. If replication is imperfect Joe then variation is a given. So if that's all ID is doing, causing there to be "variation" then ID is not needed at all. There is variation regardless. And Joe, don't you think that we'd have noticed such "communication" already? You've already yourself posted some links alluding to the fact this is a well studied area yet nothing that supports this claim. I wonder why. And what's stopping you performing experiments yourself? Oh, right.... Duh. EDIT: And before you get all excited Joe with a quote mine I know they communicate, but they don't broadcast the contents of their genome which is what you are saying with your "what they have" idiocy.

And no, the LEDERBERGs didn’t know about bacterial communication. Please at least try to stay focused. Zach: Quote That doesn’t change that the mutations were random with respect to the environment. But feel free to explain how intercellular communication explains the Lederbergs experiment. Please be specific. Oh, wait now. Zach asked that before Joe said that! So Joe, no answer? Just going to ignore it and pretend it was not asked at all? ROFL. Coward. Ignorance is nothing to be ashamed of.

oldmanintheskydidntdoit Posts: 4999 Joined: July 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Oct. 14 2012,17:43    Quote No fallback. Just the facts. And I know facts bother you because the fact is your position has nothing. Joe, the only person bothered that "my position" cannot explain replication is you. It's not a problem for me. It's being worked on. And the more we find out the less it looks like an intelligent designer's services were called upon. I can't explain replication. But you can! So great for you! The fact that "it was designed" is a satisfying explanation to you is something you, not me, have to deal with. Quote So don’t blame me because you spew bald assertions.

Probably not at work eh? -------------- I also mentioned that He'd have to give me a thorough explanation as to *why* I must "eat human babies".

oldmanintheskydidntdoit Posts: 4999 Joined: July 2006 (Permalink) Posted: Oct. 14 2012,17:49    Joe, Quote Please do tell how YOU know what bacteria communicate. Chemical signals, or the lack of specific chemical signals could definitely communicate what each has at the ready. What do you think genomes are made of? Chemicals! What do you think does the chemical communicating? The chemically formed genomes! Ah, but Joe. There's more to the genome then just chemicals! If you recreated a genome with just the chemicals it in it would not work! Just look at the ribosome! Man made ones don't work! They are missing that vital something, information. So if you are looking just at the level of chemicals then you are missing a trick I'm afraid. What they are communicating is defined by the internal algorithm that they are running. Quote But anyways do tell how you know what is and isn’t communicated- show your work. And then tell us how it was determined that all mutations are undirected, chance events. In fact, the question is a somewhat different one. Here, let me remind you. Quote That doesn’t change that the mutations were random with respect to the environment. But feel free to explain how intercellular communication explains the Lederbergs experiment. Please be specific. You made a claim. Now support it. Stop pretending that the question is not on the table. Or is that all you have to support ID?

Joe said: Quote Also the mutations allow for fitness- ie successful reproduction, so it would appear to be an example of built-in responses to environmental cues. Zachriel said: Quote That’s exactly what the Lederbergs showed wasn’t the case. The mutations were not due to environmental clues. You could also look at the Luria–Delbrück experiment.

And Venter created a genome with just chemicals and it worked, moron. Really? I guess it's not surprising you don't realise when one claim you make undermines another you've made. And as to the question:   Quote I already explained it above. Stop blaming me for your problems. No, you did not!

If their functionality was the result of their physical and chemical components then artificial ribosomes should function just as the ribosomes found inside living organisms. Artificial ribosomes are lacking the programming required by compilers to function. Yep, more to the genome then just chemicals. That Joe is a clever guy...

The current TSZ thread is entertaining, though.  In summary: no-one at The Skeptical Zone can comment at UD because they've all been banned, and no-one at UD will leave the compound and play an away game, because they can't ban the opposition and declare victory.  So they're flinging turds from behind the bars. -------------- Math is just a language of reality.
