Joe G: Dennett tells us in "Darwin?s Great Idea" that "there is no way to predict what will be selected for at any point in time." (repeated in the PBS series "Evolution")

I assume that Joe's referring to Darwin's Dangerous Idea (Freudian slip?).  I searched it on Amazon and couldn't find anything like the phrase that he quotes.  I think Joe has been playing Chinese Whispers with himself.

From http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelli....mments:,
Sal misunderstands variation, and the roles that the ToE ascribes to mutation, recombination, drift, and selection:  
Quote
If there are varieties of traits within a species, the variety is suggestive of absence of selection, not presence of it. Selection is the enemy of diversity. Thus if varieties have persisted, selection cannot account for the variety, thus selection is a flimsy explanation for what is observed.

Appeals to balancing selection, etc. have proven insufficient to rescue Darwinism from the obvious consequence of Fisher?s fundamental theorem of natural selection. One simply cannot explain diversity through a mechanism which works by extinguishing diversity.

UD's moderation nixplained!

No conspiracy involved?your comments are automatically being caught along with a bunch of other comments. And the delay is unfortunate because people have to wait until a moderator comes online. But it?s better than being spammed with ads for various products (over 115,000 and counting so far).


Yes, using people rather than visual turing test is the 'intelligent' way to deal with spam. And they've always been at war with Eurasia.

I just read the whole thing again a little closer and realized that she didn't address any of the points I put in the article. She complained that I called her a parasite (which I think she is), nit picked about the term co-author and then referred to us as ratwiki the whole time.

I am all for snarky comments and rhetorical devices but she seems to only want to talk about those things. If she decides to address the actual science involved I will give it a shot. But until them I am not getting mucked down over at a place that seems to censor comments as a matter of course.

Oh and hi guys, I have occasionally enjoyed the frisking of Dembski et al this forum provides, its nice to "talk" with you all finally. Keep up the good work, the lurkers love it  :) !

Quote
DaveScot,
Remember these people actually believe whole heartedly that evolution of CSI is possible in HIV. We know for a fact, from rigorous math and the study of observational data of deleterious mutation rates in other organisms, that this is not possible. I think Sal is doing an excellent job of gathering the available observational data that is available in HIV in which to clearly show these people why it is not remotely possible.
Their snide comments probably come from years of brainwashing in the Darwinism doctrine and the arrogant and mistaken assumption that they can?t possibly be wrong. But we have a surprise for them in the actual practice of hard science, So I ask that we may exercise a little patience with our guest until we have the observation data we need to destroy their case.


So, lets look at that:
 
Quote
Remember these people actually believe whole heartedly that evolution of CSI is possible in HIV.

Unfortunately CSI is a somewhat nebulous concept. And anyway, by virtue of the fact that HIV exists it by their definition must have CSI already. It does not need to "evolve" CSI, it (if for a moment we believe Sal et al) already has it. You are very confused bornagain77.

 
Quote
We know for a fact, from rigorous math and the study of observational data of deleterious mutation rates in other organisms, that this is not possible.

We know for a fact do we? As CSI has not been defined in any useful way, I strongly doubt it. Could bornagain77 point us to where the "rigorous math" has been done? And what Intelligent Design proponents generated these study's of deleterious mutation rates? Or do these "studies" simply not exist and bornagain77 is really talking about "genetic entropy", the idea that we're not really all here because we all died generations ago due to accumulated mutations?
 
Quote
think Sal is doing an excellent job of gathering the available observational data that is available in HIV in which to clearly show these people why it is not remotely possible.

And your expertise in this field bornagain77 is from where? What qualifies you to judge if Sal is doing an excellent job or not? And what exactly is not remotely possible bornagain77? CSI evolving? Well, ID says if it's "alive" it already has CSI. So why does HIV need to evolve CSI? It's amazing how many fields Sal is proving the experts wrong in. On the one hand we have Cosmology (everybody is wrong) Information theory (everybody is wrong) and now HIV (everybody is wrong).
Amazing. I'm sure there's a word for people like him.
 
Quote
Their snide comments probably come from years of brainwashing in the Darwinism doctrine and the arrogant and mistaken assumption that they can?t possibly be wrong.

Bornagain77, if that's true what's your explanation for the fact that DaveScot bans people he is unable to argue with? What arrogant and mistaken assumptions is he working under? You call it "brainwashing", everybody else calls it "learning". The only people that claim that they cannot be wrong are the people on your side bornagain77. The evidence itself matters not, or you'd let ERV continue to talk on the thread that she was invited to. You are the arrogant one bornagain77.  Could you tell me where the brainwashing takes place? I know where your brainwashing takes place bornagain77. Where do I go to get my brain washed in darwinism?
 
Quote

How deluded. What ID proponents are doing hard science? And as ERV has already been banned when you penned your message, how foolish do you look? Bornagain77, if you say lets have patience until you have the hard data, then presumably your current position is not based on hard data but faith. Yet you appear confident that the "hard science" data will help your case. It appears that you have already decided what the "hard science" will say, and as such it's not really science at all, it's just confirming previously held opinions just like all the other creationists. Just like Sal, who holds to viewpoints in defiance of all available evidence. When the "hard science" is done, why not wait until you've seen the results before deciding that "darwinism" is the loser.

And anyway, bornagain77, show me who's doing this ID "hard science". I challenge you!

Oldman - Excellent! ?Thanks for taking the time with the tard and passing on the fisking.

In other news, I can see why ERV (Abbie) got banned at UD - Proving DaveScot wrong. In comment #25, Dave accuses Abbie of not even having read Behe's Edge of Evo, and in comment #46, Abbie has her copy in front of her and asks Dave to read along with her....

I would love to have a UTube of the resulting explosion...



I would say that the Nixplanatory Filter calls for the resulting sacrifice of 4 bags of Cheesy Poofs to placate the Volcano Gods and calm the voices in Davey's head.

Triple! And he makes it look so easy.

Hmm. I think that facticians posts have been removed. Not only from the current thread, but here's a thread from back in May. DaveScot is replying to a comment that no longer exists.

Quote
DaveScot: factician

By definition, every form of life that is alive today (that is capable of reproduction) is the fittest form of life for that niche.


You better call up the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service right away and tell them that there?s no such thing as an endangered species because anything alive and reproducing is by definition the fittest thing in that niche.

Your next comment better have a little more thought put into it or your first comment here will also be your last.

Art2's comments on the current thread are gone, too. At least others are responding to his comments which are nowhere to be found. But Art2 is still found in the older threads. Meanwhile, ERV's comments remain, but who knows for how long.

Could Sal, the self-avowed ID Commando Commander be on Davey's future hit-list?  He has had the temerity to try and drive a wedge between himself and Mr. DaveTard on Abbie's ERV blog, trying to establish the dichotomy of himself as the Good Guy, searching for knowledge, and Davey as the Bad-Guy Thug, searching for blood.

Sal laid his body on the line after the dust-off and the sounds of huey's landing followed by ice-cream in the mess. Brave, brave Sir Sal.

Combine that with the enemas of ancient mythology and we have a 'running' situation.

Richard - Excellent example of typical UD/ID Hypocrisy™ and Bad Thinking™.  

To be entirely fair however, Gil's post was created, I mean "designed" only one day before The Holiest Day Of The Year - St. Patrick's Day - and he was probably thinking about drinking his first bottle of Jameson's.
