Sal admits defeat

Dirichlet is not the approprate set of conditions for inverse Fourier transforms and series as I had supposed in December 2007 when I put my post up at YoungCosmos.


Interesting that "math" can defeat him. I wonder how he'll cope with more of the same at University.

No.

I am sure you know better.

I was just thinking about beauty.

I am aware that some boy's have other ideas what that might be.

TE’s [theistic evolutionists] aren’t loonies. They’re spineless appeasers. They know wearing on their sleeve a belief in a personal living God who can make miracles happen with a wave of His hand will make them look like superstitious fools among the “higher” scientists. National Academy members, the higher scientists, are 71% positive atheists, 22% agnostics, and just 7% who profess a faith in God. Plain and simple, TE’s are caving in to pressure from the majority of the most accomplished scientists. Wimps. If Judas was alive today he’d be a TE.

Bourne's unreasoned response preceded Ted's and provides a nice contrast

   
Quote
The most offensive thing in Miller’s new rag is the inane claim that somehow ID is a threat to civilization.

That is unbelievably stupid and/or hypocritical. The Judeo/Christian values upon which America was founded are diametrically opposed to just about everything Darwinism, and it’s undergirding materialist religion, stands for.

History attests to this in no uncertain terms.

I wonder if Miller’s name in Greek or Hebrew adds up to 666? :-o
Can’t be, he isn’t smart enuff for that job.


Where to begin....

I like Ted's point about "what's different" with ID.
 
Quote
(2) It is unclear how one would do science differently with ID, when it comes to working in laboratories and observatories and in the field. There is no “there” there, in terms of an alternative theory for contextualizing stuff.

This is hilarious in light of Dave's many attempts to include TEs when he is adding up all the folks who "support ID", as gleaned from various polls.

When he needs 'em to bump up the numbers for his pre-ordained conclusions, he includes TEs under the big tent. But if he isn't counting heads, they become "appeasers".

What a piece of work he is...

Here's a hint, trib. It isn't wrong. But it might be wrong to refuse to do it and then lie about what you've done...

Ah but remember, with God "every second is a thousand [or million] years and every thousand years a second."

Thus "if you run the numbers," what you have are lies, damn lies, and static. :p

2) UD IS KEEN TO KEEP ITS TOTAL MONOPOLY ON LOONIES.

AFAIK, Heddle has never said whether he actually accepts evolution or not.  I don't think he is a TE.

Since hopefully you are evidence-based, perhaps you could explain how many neutral mutations can be expected to be traversed by an organism in, say, 500,000 generations, with a genome of, say, 3 billion bases and a mutation rate of, say, 6 mutations per generation. Is there an edge to evolution, and can we approximate it? And if so, how does it compare with the standard interpretation of paleontological change?

Damn, if there were only one organism, it might take a long time.

After having engaged others on this matter and reading their responses, I have changed my mind. I am now prepared to say that both Dave and I have been premature in our analysis. It is far more likely that TEs are both gutless and irrational.
