Hey, you're right, there are numbers.

You still haven't talked about your fundamental misunderstanding of natural selection; your comment that organisms choose to adapt; and your complete failure to use graphs correctly.

But, goddamit, I've got fucking page numbers asshole!


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

page bump bug??

eta:
yep....

BTW: Gary, it's called science.  

Observation (my post isn't appearing)
Research (remember that this has happened before)
Hypothesis (if I make another post, my first post will appear on the next page of the thread)
Experiment (make another post)
Data (both posts appear)
Conclusion (hypothesis confirmed)

This has happened sufficiently often, in multiple threads and with multiple people who all report the same thing.  We know have a theory about the page bump bug.  If you post again, it will fix itself.

science, it works... you should try it.

While waiting to see whether OgreMkV goes completely insane or not, you may enjoy this excellent thread featuring earlier minimal-code models and more at FractalForums.com where this year's contest entries include fractal-life that's worth checking out:

Let's collaborate on something! - A (Fractal) Theory Of Everything?

That is what the theory looks like in a forum where all are interested in math and science.

So, Gary.

Almost ten pages in and you are getting exactly the same response as the myriad other forums you've visited. For the umpteenth time your theory is being described as unreadable, incoherent, rambling, and your understanding of what a theory is and what it is supposed to do is, yet again, being called into question.

There's a pattern here, Gary....obviously something is going wrong. I see two possibilities here;

A) - You've been terribly unlucky in choosing the correct forum in which to present your work. I mean what else but bad luck could explain the fact that every time you post your work it is immediately shot down as being incoherent, unreadable and patently not a scientific theory?

B) - Your work actually is incoherent, unreadable and patently not a scientific theory.

On the balance of probabilities, Gary, which of the two options seems most likely to be true?

You helped convince me that I need to get back to work on unfinished software that at least science forums (as opposed to religion bashing forums) and programming community does in fact appreciate.  I'll still be responding here, but not bother much with the usual intellectual dishonesty.


You could try to give up some of the intellectual dishonesty, but we don't really expect it to happen.

The model you are comparing with is not for modeling "intelligent cause".


That was not the point. The point is that if you are able to describe cogently your idea then other people will potentially buy into it to the extent of giving you money so you can work on it.

You are unable to appreciate that it appears.

Nor is it origin of life theory that also describes chemistry experiments/models teachers need for class.  

It's also not many many other things. But what it is is an example of what can be achieved if you construct an idea in a way that other people can understand. Which you have not.
 
Quote
Your intellectual laziness very much shows.

Yet I'm not the one pushing a "theory" that I'm unable to demonstrate produces useful results. You are.

And what is your level of intellectual laziness if you've had the same criticisms over and over yet have not taken steps to correct them?

 
Quote

Tell you what, why don't you show a worksheet based on your work? If you intend for it to be used in class it's got to be more cogent then your ramblings.

So let's see the class worksheet you claim exists!

I never claimed to have a class worksheet for the Theory of Intelligent Design.  But wow!  That's actually a great idea.

I'm shocked you would suggest such a straight to the classroom idea.  And it even beats being quiet while Woodbine fishes for another sucker.  Not that I won't still come a running to help set the hook if they get a bite with their new 5=<1 lure.

Talk is cheap.

Gary, do something.

E.G. provide a novel result.

If you have a simulation of intelligence then why don't you use it to solve a problem.

The TSP comes to mind. Go for it!

Or anything really.
To which you replied:
 
Quote

The most novel and stunning application I know of is to give it speech then as long as consciousness in not required (or somehow posses it) I expect it would go out of it's mind with panic where told they are being made gone (killed).  I would not try that with a robot though, it could get very dangerous.  In virtual reality it might just be a little traumatic to the experimenter, especially when they actually do have to turn off the program, which then ends their life, because of the experiment being over.

EA's and GA's keep trying random solutions to solve a given problem and even though they might solve it that is not a test of how well it models reality.  Only seems like it because you were conditioned to think that way.  In reality though, the best sign of intelligence/reality is it tells you to go solve your own damn problem, because they're busy.  Or gets your drink from the fridge then dumps it on your head while calling you a lazy slob.

Real intelligence is often not very cooperative.  And when you take away it's individuality you get a virtually unintelligent zombie.


So, when asked to do *something, anything* with your wonderful theory you back down saying your "intelligence" would go out of it's mind with panic where told they are being made gone (killed) so, sorry, but you won't do it.

A more complete, self contained example of intellectual dishonesty I have yet to see.

Gary: I can do X.
Everyone: Go on then, do X.
Gary: Ah, I can't do X because of Y.
Everyone: But you don't know Y will happen unless you've done it already, so you must have done it at least once already to know that so produce that data instead?
Gary: .....

You said:
 
Quote
Since I did not see a Theory of Intelligent Design being possible I instead worked on original models and classroom experiments that were put together mostly at the KCFS forum.  

 
Quote
There was also added inspiration by email from Kathy Martin who instead of being negative and hating the idea was encouraging my search for an easy kitchen/classroom experiment to help explain what was later found to be called "self-assembly".

 
Quote
The theory has a little bit of everything, but not so much that it's beyond a good K-12 education level.  That's what's important, and why it's doing very well in science via science classroom and how-to community that loves that sort of model/theory too.

So what I'm actually asking is for you to produce whatever it was that you claim made it into textbooks and/or classrooms that was based upon your theory.
 
Quote
I'm shocked you would suggest such a straight to the classroom idea.

No, you gave the impression that you've already done so. So I'd like to see the proof of that.

Which classrooms Gary?

Bible University?

Why can't you prove any of this? Which classrooms, what is being taught and how does it relate to your theory?

Book editions and page numbers please.

I have known about fractals and their basics but am relatively new to their details.  From what I read here and elsewhere I appear to be working with one but never knew what to call it.  Which brought me here looking for more information on them.  It still appears to be a fractal, but other opinions on that are welcome.

Dude isn't even sure whether fractals are relevant to his musings, but it's a sexy word, so he appends it to the name of his "theory."

All the signs of a cargo cult.

Evidence please..

Like how, I've twice now pointed out flaws in your 'paper', that you have totally ignored except to insult me.

Like your fundamental misunderstanding of natural selection.  Evidence for the exponential increase in species in the Cambrian. And your totally useless graphs (which, BTW, is 3rd grade type of stuff).

So, will you address these areas?  It doesn't matter if I'm insane or not*, because those issues still exist.  If you don't address them, then no one is going to take you seriously (giggle).


* And if I am insane, I suspect is was reading your paper that drove me over the edge.  Karen Gillam can only do so much.

How you'd rather provide irrelevant links then answer the question?

I'd love to see you submit your work for peer review. And that's why you never will, you know exactly what'll happen.

Yes, post some random links to some random site and attempt to take the thread off at a tangent.

Perhaps if you would answer questions when they are asked, deal with issues as they arise, and provide explanations when requested, then you wouldn't have so many issues intertwining.

Believe it or not, most of the people here would actually like to help you develop this notion.  That way it can be tested and the question can be settled once and for all.

So, are you going to deal with your misunderstanding of natural selection, explain (and cite references to) your comment about the exponential increase in species in the Cambrian, and perhaps make the graphs in your paper understandable?

BTW: Have you ever read a peer-reviewed paper?  They have citations for everything that they say that isn't their own work.  You have zero.  At least, there are no references in the body text that I found.  I think you need to do a lot of reading and figuring out what actual scientists are saying and then incorporate reality into your paper... but then it wouldn't be about intelligent bacteria deciding to grow a flagellum would it?

What is your theory Gary?

Where's a sample of your work?  Show me one hypothesis or theory (such as a paper describing how a metabolic system works that is based on protein crystallization data that you produced) that you published anywhere.

What work? I haven't made a claim on this thread that needs any work to support it. I'm just sitting here waiting for you to back up your claims. That's it Gary. I'm just here sipping a cup o' tea and looking up from my paper every once in awhile whilst you prattle on, awaiting (apparently in vain) for some actual substance from you. But since you've provided no substance thus far, I'm under no obligation to provide any work of my own to either rebut the nonsense you've yet to provide or to support claims that I haven't made.

Sorry Gary, but you're barking up the wrong tree. This is your thread in which you get to support your claims. If you don't or can't do so, it's no skin off my teeth. My published work is irrelevant to your lack of content.

BTW: Have you ever read a peer-reviewed paper?  They have citations for everything that they say that isn't their own work.  You have zero.  At least, there are no references in the body text that I found.  I think you need to do a lot of reading and figuring out what actual scientists are saying and then incorporate reality into your paper... but then it wouldn't be about intelligent bacteria deciding to grow a flagellum would it?

Considering the first comic that they just posted in their last reply above, I would imagine that k.e.. might find it topical.

And believe it or not, except for ideas that happen regardless of forum conditions, I long ago gave up on this place helping develop this notion/theory.  I'm just seeing the usual religion bashing and pompous politics, not science.  The way everything I say gets twisted around I'm wasting way too much time answering ridiculous accusations.  Readers likely know what's up anyway.  They are smart enough to understand that it is scientifically unethical to trash a theory before even studying it.  But historically, that's the way it works.  Ones with scientific "authority" rip your life apart while hoping you drop dead from starvation, as they pity what they decree are misguided ramblings.  Here's just one of them:

Richard Owen, an ambitious leading figure of Victorian science, wrote one of the main reviews of the Origin of Species for the respected Edinburgh Review. Owen vacilated between accepting or denying evolution but was certain that Darwin's proposed mechanisms were wrong. Owen argued instead for a confusing theory of "the continuous operation of the ordained becoming of living things." In addition to throwing scorn at Darwin's ideas Owen heaped praise on his own!

The theory of intelligent design holds that certain features of the universe and of living things are best explained by an intelligent cause, not an undirected process such as natural selection.

For the nth time...

You do NOT have a theory.  A theory, by definition, is a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world, based on a body of facts that have been repeatedly confirmed through experiment and observation.

Since nothing you have posted is testable (creating an intelligence and then letting it test something, is NOT testable).  You haven't even gotten to the level of hypothesis yet.  You have a notion and a sucky one at that.

And for the 4th time, you dodge directly relevant questions and issues regarding the material you posted.  Why is that?  I though you were interested in discussing this, though it appears I was wrong.  I always give people the benefit of the doubt and think that they actually want to learn and grow, so I try to help them.  You, and every single other creationist I have ever talked with, are not interested in learning or science for that matter.  That much is obvious from your major mistakes in your work.

You spent all that time drawing flowcharts and writing software and typing up your thoughts, but they are all 100% useless and a waste of time because you have made some fundamental mistakes in your work.

Since you refuse to correct, or even acknowledge, those mistakes, there's nothing anyone can do to help you.  So, why are you here?

Well Gary, it's a little hard to study it when neither you nor any other supposed "proponent" can actually articulate it. I can't imagine how any of us have trashed your theory when none of us actually know what it is.
