I must admit I'm fascinated by the blossoming romance between Joe Gallien and Gordon Mullings.

On paper, it looks bad, one of the most offensive tards on the 'net and one of the most offended tards on the net.

And yet, it's working, flourishing even. Gordon knows that Joe does things elsewhere that would induce a fit from him if an 'evo' did it, but he can compartmentalise that, because Joe likes him, reads his posts and licks his arse.

And Joe is helping make KF stupider. KF praises Joe (for agreeing with him) and has even used Joe's own 'design is a mechanism' idiocy.

Well, I don't know what crash you are talking about.  I don't get the Montserrat news channel and I'll be fucked if I start chasing links to figure out what Gordon's talking about.

Racist... yawn.  ID is cargo cult science.

OK
So you didn't read Freddie's post about the fatal aircrash, that you replied to.
KF=Montserrat? L'etat, c'est lui????
He may be the biggest, most unpleasant git on the island, but then, he's also one of the biggest gits on earth.

Kick that slimy toad (and I'll lend you my boots when yours are worn out). Leave the decent Montserrat people (who have never heard of him) alone.

i just skimmed over it and say "Fly Montserrat" and I thought, I bet that's a hoot. I have no idea what crash it is though.  And before I look it up let me just say I wish Gordon was the obstacle whatever the thing that crashed into

I wonder if kairosfocus is upset that Joe and Barry had a love child with Joe's intelligence and Barry's pleasant demeanor.

Fair enough. I withdraw my censure.

Gordon has created his own Hell on Earth on Montserrat. Sure, Hell might have a few more volcanoes but the temperature of the rum and the passing of time is about the same.

No one important gives a fuck about Gordon.

In Rich's link I noticed the reference to Sokal and his bête noire, the pseud's pseud Jacques Lacan who makes Dembski look like Milquetoast.

Consider the obviousness of this GEM.

Quote
Richard Dawkins, in a review of Fashionable Nonsense, said regarding Lacan: "We do not need the mathematical expertise of Sokal and Bricmont to assure us that the author of this stuff is a fake. Perhaps he is genuine when he speaks of non-scientific subjects? But a philosopher who is caught equating the erectile organ to the square root of minus one has, for my money, blown his credentials when it comes to things that I don't know anything about."


Dembski mentally can't get it up, and uselessly just flops around in search of a nonexistent hard bit of 'information'.

His followers pay their money he creams the profits and they go away satisfied.

What a sweet deal, they're too much in awe of his crack.

Feh...I think most people have hell completely wrong and that the Christian concept is just plain silly. People expect hell to encompass pain, torture, and some form of death, but I think that hell likely encompasses helplessness, humiliation, and stealing of dignity. Gordo of course, is the embodiment of all three.

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.


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.

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.

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:

What happened to the O in dFSCI? gordo likes to promote dFSCO/I. Or is it dFSCI/O? Whatever. I guess gpuccio missed the memo.

And speaking of gpuccio, I'll bet that even after all that BS about "specificity", an "empirical test", and "the dFSCI procedure", he can't calculate the amount of CSI, or FSCI, or dFSCI, or dFSCO/I in a banana.

Hey gpuccio, let's see you demonstrate your intelligence and goodwill by doing the so-called "dFSCI procedure" on these ten things (the real things-not this text), and show your calculations:

1. a flu virus
2. a 5 pound piece of granite
3.  a goldfish
4. a human toenail
5. a beaver dam
6. a chicken
7. a rose bush
8. a pseudogene
9. a fly maggot
10. joe g and gordo's love affair

I'm willing to bet my house that gpuccio's objective procedure cannot distinguish between an uncatalogued but functional protein coding sequence and the same with a couple of knockout mutations.

Isn't it a small problem for design that you can't anticipate the behavior of new molecules? Wouldn't it bolster the design hypothesis to demonstrate that design is possible?

To Zachriel (at TSZ):
Actually, that’s precisely how we read gpuccio’s statements. He defines functional complexity, excludes those with known causes, then concludes the remaining sequences are designed. Keiths summarized it above.
Your “reading” is terrible, and comnpletely wrong.

Or maybe the problem is on your side, gpuccio. You can't express yourself well and your own thoughts on "dFSCI" keep shifting like sand.

Your question is in the same family as my question of how to distinguish between an uncatalogued protein coding sequence and the same sequence with one disabling point mutation. No fair doing it with chemistry. That would be what natural selection does.

Or my related question of how you know how many mutations it takes to go from a barely active sequence for a catalyst to a highly adapted sequence. How does gpuccio know it exceeds the bounds of probability or involves multiple co-dependent mutations?

As for Dawkins’ “weasel” and latching:

The program was supposed to demonstrate CUMULATIVE selection. And you cannot have cumulative selection if the proper mutations do not latch. Otherwise it would be called back and forth and sometimes cumulative selection.

Oh Joe!

Perhaps we could also call two steps forward, one step back just "one step forward"?

Given the whole "random proteins are often functional too" news lately I wonder how much longer they can keep the "islands" strawman bonfire burning.

I've asked Gordo many times for his map.
Each time he reaches for the needle in a haystack the size of the cosmos. Not the needle one step away. Or the one he's sitting on.

I've also asked Gordo many times what biological process is it that is going on when the sampling is happening in the "cosmos haystack". Never had a real answer.

They "know" it exceeds the bounds of probability because it has Truthiness.
