Lewontin!  This time from vjtorley.

Which reminds me, where the hell is Kairosfocus lately?

Perhaps sitting in a dark corner somewhere wondering why, in a world overseen by an omniscient, omnipotent benevolent God who has our best interests at heart and listens to our prayers, he had to fly his son to the mainland to get healed anyway?

Why did all his prayers fail while science worked?

Holy Toledo, from the second link by Salvador Cordova

Quote
Ok, so let’s do an experiment. Let’s subject bacteria or plants or any organism to radiation and thus increase the mutation rate mutation rate by a factor of 1 million or 1 billion. Do you think the above formula will still hold? We tried it in the lab, it killed the plants, and at some point rather than speeding evolution we are doing sterilization.


Well Check-Goddam-Mate Evilushunists!


Remember when he tried that experiment with Avida?  IIRC, he turned the point mutation rate to 11 and then was surprised to see that the population continued to grow?

As I recall, Richard B Hoppe had to get one of the authors of Avida to figure out what was going on.  Turns out that Sal's barrage of digital cosmic rays instantly blew every digital organism to bits.  Then the Avida machinery kept churning the bits.  Every time one of the chunks that Avida used to recognize an organism floated by, the program increased the population count by one.

Reminds me a little of the Encode project.

Sal talks about it here, but it apparently happened in 2004 on ARN and the link he gives doesn't work so it may be lost.  

Of course, to hear Sal tell it, the episode was his way of making an important contribution to the Avida documentation.  All traces of shame, humiliation and dumbfuckery have magically disappeared.

I hear Sal tried watering the lab animals by holding them under the surface for a half hour, so they could get a real good drink.  That didn't work very well either.  

Science is hard.

You’re also a hypocrite. Repent.

Why did all his prayers fail while science worked?

And he asks of the Lewontin quote, "I would ask my readers: if this is not a clear-cut example of ideological bias, then what is? "

It's a clear-cut example of a post-modernist type critique of that purported materialist bias.  These bozos are so dimwitted that they can't even recognize that Lewontin dislikes this "bias," part of the break he made from Sagan.  

I think Lewontin is essentially wrong, in fact, that there is an evidentiary bias that is often hardened into a ban of the supernatural, but that "ban" is essentially the result of not finding what many have desperately sought to discover, evidence of some sort of magic working beyond "matter."  And he can complain of evidence for "Lamarckist" sort of inheritance having been ignored as much as he wants (which eventually turned out to be epigenetic effects), the fact is that hanging data without an explanation is just that, something not explained, pretty much useless.  To be fair to him, such evidence was sort of swept under the rug, when it might have been good if people had recognized it as a problem, at least.

Of course the big problem isn't even that they can't see what Lewontin is saying, but that it hardly matters what one person says, rather, what the community of scientists does.  And while there's evidence of things not fitting in being more or less "forgotten," there's certainly no evidence of a case for supernaturalism being simply ignored.

We had an experience a couple years ago where some of the Discovery scientists were traveling with one of our supporters. So that night, we were at this cowboy steakhouse feeding the troops.


Ok....Didn't know the DI had a travelling circus....but whatever....

   
Quote
So I jumped in and offered the Discovery Institute credit card to pay for the Discovery Institute scientists, and this young waitress came back with the bill and the credit card. And she looked left and looked right and lowered her voice and said, "Can you tell me what the Discovery Institute is?"


Nope. Not happening. Waited tables, and you know damn better than to ask about a company credit card when people are entertaining. Or to express even passing interest at all in peoples' plastic which they are very protective of.

Though my bigger objection should be "Discovery Institute scientists," of which there are 0. Anti-science-ists, plenty.

 
Quote

Well, I said, we're a scientific think tank, and we're investigating the evidence for intelligent design and challenging standard Darwin. She says, "I thought so!"


I'll poll 300 "U" students right now. Odds of even one having heard of the Discovery Institute? Lol.

 
Quote
She said, "Our professors hate you." And then she motioned to three other waiters and waitresses. She says, "I'm a bio major at the U, and so are they, and, I'm telling you, our professors hate you.


How did this come up? In Bio 101, the profs announce "F-intelligent design idiots and the Discovery Institute we hate them", and this woman happens to remember it when she sees your credit card? We don't bring up the "controversy" in college classes. There is no controversy. Outside of idiot school boards in red states, you don't even exist.

 
Quote
But then we go on your website and we see those animations of all those little machines and we say, 'No way did that evolve.'


Nope. But how proud are you that the total of your "science" can be expressed in an emotional reaction?
Nope. We're no relative of apes. Nope that's complex-no way it evolved." God done it!

Yep, it's practically a Chick tract.

(I wonder if Casey had to sit on the big cushion at the table.)

And that waitress was a Navy Seal...

... and then the waitress said "You know, my great-grandma was at Darwin's deathbed when he recanted".

Those students who chose to specialize in a particular kind of Biology (re: interested students) do better than their GPA would indicate on the LSAT.

If he's so smart, why is he collecting debts to scrape by?  Are those new ambulances too fast to chase?

I know somebody posted an ad Barry put out a couple of years ago, hiring debt collectors.  (Paying about ten bucks an hour, IIRC.)  Looking for that, I found this.  Note that the guy lives in Washington.

This is just another underhanded, unscrupulous immoral collection company. Typical of all the others, they are calling for an alleged family member claiming I am their reference. “It is imperative that you call me back immediately to avoid further legal action” – Trent at extension 105. I am a single, retired, and disabled MALE veteran. The purpose for this call was apparently to reach a FEMALE family member. I live alone and have for more than fourteen years now.

“Barry K Arrington Law Office, LLC is committed to getting outstanding claims resolved for all parties involved.

Dru x107 – Left a rude message for “Ms.” Xxxxxxx. The purpose for this call was apparently to reach a FEMALE family member to threaten her into giving them money.
Warren x??? – Refused to identify the company that has been calling me repeatedly. Said I must own someone money and wanted me to provide him with my personal information.
Trent x105 – Has been calling my cellular telephone for weeks, several time a day. I have no knowledge of any debt they are attempting to collect from a “Ms. Xxxxx Xxxxxxx”.

All callers have repeatedly violated my privacy, Colorado State law and Federal law.

It is one thing if you owe them money, not that it is okay to harass anyone, but completely another if you are not even their intended victim.

If you are being wrongfully harassed and repeatedly called, file a complaint with the FTC and follow through with legal action. Eventually they will get the message. Are you getting all this Barry, Trent, Warren, and Dru?

That's our highly intelligent lawyer/debt collector/politician Barry Arrington - 97th percentile!

Which he thinks shows that religion and classics students do better at the LSAT than, say, specialized Biology students.  Of course, it shows the exact opposite - that specialized biology students do better at the LSAT compared to religion students.  DESPITE HAVING LOWER UGPA's.  In fact, the low LSAT average for religionmajors conditioned on their GPA is probably indicative of grade inflation for religion majors.

Those students who chose to specialize in a particular kind of Biology (re: interested students) do better than their GPA would indicate on the LSAT.

EDIT: Actually, BOTH regular biology majors AND specialized biology majors do better than their GPA should indicate on the LSAT.  Religion majors?  Not so much.

Also:

BIOLOGY, SPECIALIZATION    155.8
CHEMISTRY                      152.1
BIOLOGY                              149.
LAW                      147.6
PRE-LAW                      147.1
ACCOUNTING                      148.3


Does this disqualify Barry, the CPA/Lawyer from rational discussion?

No, of course not.

Does Barry's being---Barry disqualify him from rational discussion?

He holds himself up as the-exception-that-proves-the-rule, having majored in accounting but scoring 97% on LSAT. So his critical thinking skills are just top-rate, thanks for asking.

But how does his IQ match up against DaveTARD?

I'm surprised Denyse hasn't applied? Maybe she has?

Research proposal for the Cutting-Edge ID Research Institute:

Land a petunia on the surface of the sun.  If sunlight is really good for plants, it will grow like buggery.

And if that doesn't work, try a sunflower!

(And if that doesn't work either, then I guess we're not in Kansas anymore?)

I hear Sal tried watering the lab animals by holding them under the surface for a half hour, so they could get a real good drink.  That didn't work very well either.

Otherwise, the OP is Sal's usual slime, spewed at Gingerich and Thewissen, copied from a creationist site. Nothing to see here ...
