With heavyweighter Booby to the resque, a renaissance is about to sweep over UcD and ID. Will the glory of TARD be restored?

Hmm, something that has probably been present for years, but I noticed this for the first time today. At the bottom of every UD page:

Barry is President of UD? Does anyone recall when he got elected?

Wow. Dembski posts a bunch of misleading anti-green crap, like GM losing $49,000 for every volt sold which is a comically bad misunderstanding of money and numbers, in a post warning about letting ideology interfere with science. How's that for irony?

There's more DembskiMath™ in there.  For instance, in the Compact Flourescent Light portion:

    3.5B CFLs
   x  5MG Mercury Each
   -------
   17.5 MG

So, in DembskiMath 3,500,000,000 x 5 = 17.5
For some value of 17.5.

Less explicitly Christian math would put that figure at closer to 17,500,000 MG = 38,580 pounds of mercury per year and that is the poundage of toxic waste specified "if disposed of improperly".

He's a little off in the "Green Jobs Debacle" too.  According to DocDoc, a $500 million program generated just 1,336 jobs.  This figure is illustrated with a line of 23 men in hard hats and the caption says each figure represents 100 jobs, for a total of ... 2300 jobs, not 1,336.

A more charitable person than myself would say that's at least more accurate than the Bible's age for the earth and universe.  But still, one of DocDoc's Docs is in math.  You would kind of expect a little better.  Or at least a little less TARDy.

Speaking of the Chevy Volt, thanks to a Tea Party cousin, I get all sorts of right wing emails.  I remember one on the Volt which complained that driving a few hundred miles would cost you over $100.00, which makes me wonder how much his electricity costs and who he gets it from.  My best guess is that he gets it from alkaline D cells.  Or maybe carbon-zinc.

Worse, the guy then complained that once you reached your destination, you'd have to remain over night while you recharged the car's batteries before you headed back.  He was apparently unaware that the Volt also has a gasoline engine.

Maybe it's just me, but the thing I find most revolting in Booby's rant - along with the similar rants by folks like Gordo, Harry Barrington, et al - is the arrogant assumption that their concept of right and wrong is not about the choices we should make about our behaviors and lives, but rather that the concept should be used as a basis of behavioral enslavement and punishment. Screw Jesus' teachings concerning how people ought to behave and noting that folks need to choose to behave that way to get in through the narrow gate - naw...that's just a waste of time and and hindrance to actually making heaven on Earth. No...far better to put a gun to everyone's head and pull the trigger on those who don't go along with his idea of this supposed "utopia". We'll force you all to be "good" through torture and hell!

As the Operative in Serenity said, "We're building a better world...all of them...better worlds." To which Mal replied (though not directly), "Hell, I'm going to grant your greatest wish. I'm going to show you a world without sin."

You know what the real immoral enemy of Christianity, manhood, and America is Booby? The human claim of divine authority and the aftermath that follows the enforcement of said righteous vision.

I always read that idiot's ramblings as if it were a letter from his neuron to his other neuron about the way that he wished the world looked and the person he wished he were, but with a melancholy that never goes away because Booby knows two neurons aint much in this world and the shit aint like he wishes it were anyway.

[...]

For Dembski, that error isn't so large:

Quote

Operation: Error in dembskis(17.5,17500000000)
? = |ln(17.5) - ln(17500000000)| / 150 = 0.13815510557964


ETA: Of course, one or the other of us is off by a factor of 1,000 in getting the "3.5B * 5" figure done. That scale of error would be 0.046 dembskis.

Any scientific questions?
 
Quote
This origin of intelligence theory explains the emergent origin of biological diversity and complexity of life on Earth (and detection of these features elsewhere in our Universe) as a product of intelligence, which here self-assembles from nonrandom behavior of matter into multiple self-similar levels of a four requirement cognitive system that over time learns (no select/selected/selection generalizations) and can take a guess (not take a mutation) and physically develops over a lifetime that for molecular intelligence lasts at least billions of years (hence the word evolve became redundant). The theory's unambiguous logical construct allowed for an operational definition for biological species that builds upon the standard accepted operational definition for chemical species, used in chemistry. This unified entire sciences such as Cognitive Theory, Cell Theory, Genetic Theory and Physics Theory including concepts from String Theory. And one requirement of this inherently controlling cognitive mechanism is a confidence level we consciously feel, which is vital to account for, for the theory to also be useful to artists, musicians, clergy and all interested in better knowing who and what we are, how we were created, and by process known as "chromosomal speciation" are related to a progenitor couple hereby colloquially named "Chromosomal Adam and Eve".

Gary, I saw this in a conversation you had online:

Quote

Control Of Krebs Cycle By Molecular Intelligence

In living things molecular intelligence is seen controlling what self-assembles from the powerful Krebs Cycle that has become the core metabolic cycle of cells. It is the power plant and factory where a dozen or so catalytic molecules (protein, mineral or other) are drawn to metabolic pathway assembly lines that makes a copy of the molecule it started with every time around the circle. It does this by adding a non-chiral (structurally identical) mirror image of the starting molecule then when the cycle is completed it breaks in half resulting in two identical copies.



At any stage through the assembly cycle a molecule of proper fit may be drawn by molecular forces into a nearby self-assembly interaction to where it fits. At least part of the Reverse Krebs Cycle is catalyzed by volcanic clay/dust/mineral in sunlight making it possible that the cycle was once common planetary chemistry.[11][12]

Where there is no molecular intelligence present the Krebs Cycle would not be able to produce cells and exist regardless of molecular intelligence being present or not to control it. A rudimentary intelligence may actually be challenged to keep up with its production rate but not necessarily be destroyed by periods of overproduction.

Intelligence to exploit this cycle could easily form in its local environment. Once active it would have little problem controlling this existing metabolism. We can here predict self-assembly of a precellular starter mechanism that produces a genome from scratch, instead of a genome first being required to produce this intelligence.


Elsewhere, you've said that you are revising your text constantly. Is this the latest stable text that you have about the citric acid cycle?

Gary, I saw this in a conversation you had online:

Control Of Krebs Cycle By Molecular Intelligence

In living things molecular intelligence is seen controlling what self-assembles from the powerful Krebs Cycle that has become the core metabolic cycle of cells. It is the power plant and factory where a dozen or so catalytic molecules (protein, mineral or other) are drawn to metabolic pathway assembly lines that makes a copy of the molecule it started with every time around the circle. It does this by adding a non-chiral (structurally identical) mirror image of the starting molecule then when the cycle is completed it breaks in half resulting in two identical copies.



At any stage through the assembly cycle a molecule of proper fit may be drawn by molecular forces into a nearby self-assembly interaction to where it fits. At least part of the Reverse Krebs Cycle is catalyzed by volcanic clay/dust/mineral in sunlight making it possible that the cycle was once common planetary chemistry.[11][12]

Where there is no molecular intelligence present the Krebs Cycle would not be able to produce cells and exist regardless of molecular intelligence being present or not to control it. A rudimentary intelligence may actually be challenged to keep up with its production rate but not necessarily be destroyed by periods of overproduction.

Intelligence to exploit this cycle could easily form in its local environment. Once active it would have little problem controlling this existing metabolism. We can here predict self-assembly of a precellular starter mechanism that produces a genome from scratch, instead of a genome first being required to produce this intelligence.


Elsewhere, you've said that you are revising your text constantly. Is this the latest stable text that you have about the citric acid cycle?

Due to the extreme amount of work putting this theory together (and its politics) I only have time and resources for what most matters to science.  Here's my latest project:

That doesn't have anything to do with the citric acid cycle.

So let's put it another way: Is your statement that I quoted above about the citric acid cycle something that you feel is defensible? Or are you saying that it isn't, but you've been too busy to retract it?

Have you met timecube, Gary?
