Now it's "Error establishing a database connection". I tell you, the whole place is going to wrack and ruin without Lizzie.

There's a Latin word for that.

It's no good.  I tried whacking the monitor (in both Latin and English) but it's still "Error establishing a database connection".

Granville Sewell has to resort to his imagination to find people who like his video:
Quote

For me, the real argument for intelligent design has always been extremely simple, and doesnt require any advanced mathematics or microbiology to grasp. The video below makes this argument in the simplest, clearest way I can make it. My uncle Harry and aunt Martha like the video, and cant understand why so many intelligent scientists arent impressed by this very simple argument.

[snip]

If I could figure out a way to use some more advanced mathematics in my arguments, if I could figure out a way to restate the basic point in such a way that uncle Harry and aunt Martha couldnt understand it, I might make some progress (I dont really have an uncle Harry or an aunt Martha, by the way, but many people do). Perhaps it would help if I linked to my resume, or to my finite element program, to show that I am capable of doing more advanced mathematics, even if I havent used any of it in this video.


Granville,

You are barking up the wrong tree. The lack of more advanced mathematics in your argument is not the root of your problem. Good physics does not (necessarily) require sophisticated math. Einstein's special relativity uses 7th-grade algebra, yet it s quite profound as a physical theory.

Your problem is that you are not a good physicist. You do not understand statistical physics. Here are just a couple of points.  

* There are simple examples of entropy compensation that you seem to be unaware of.
* Your "X-entropy" is not a new concept. It is a bastardized version of the familiar, run-of-the-mill entropy associated with the number of configurations of atoms in real space.

There are a few threads at the Skeptical Zone, where well-qualified physicists and chemists dissected your technical arguments in great detail. You were invited to participate but you did not have the courage to show up.

A Second Look at the Second Law...
Granville Sewell vs. Bob Lloyd.

What a clown.

I fear not. The site is on an independent server and unless Lizzie has delegated someone the FTP access, she will need to ask her web service provider to help or wipe the infected files and reinstall a clean copy of wordpress.

ETA

Sorted.

Same here - and two hours ago it worked just fine.
Maybe Lizzie is doing the spring cleaning.

I am enjoying the uptick in TSZ's postings and conversations, mostly for the education, but certainly not least for the return of...

(heralds sound)

His Most Royal Tardiness, William J Murray.

I mean, No Neck Joe and GG Aulin get the job done, but when William J Murray posts, I feel like Screwtape taking in the luscious air of a Torquemada. His arrogance, His dismissiveness, His air of lese majeste when addressing Lizzie's posts about Dembski (or replies to His Own comments), His refusal to answer or even acknowledge questions or define His terms, His condescension and derision and insults...ah, I think I could never surfeit on the black bile that is the soul of William J Murray!

Just so long as he can put up with some pro-science comments for a short time, his intellectual honesty is hardly in question.

Among the IDiots, that is.

"Obfuscation of terms"? The nerve - One thing I admire about Lizzie is that she always makes sure that everyone agrees on definitions.

All that He does is a flounce. Each snide remark, each disdainful word dripping with snobbery, reads as a flounce.

Hey, annoying other participants in a debate is easy: Just insist they prove a negative: "Show me without the shadow of a doubt there is no intelligence involved. You can't? I win!" That's what Murray it doing in "A Search for a Search" at the moment.

"always makes sure"? Well except for the times when she's trying to reach agreement with a person who flatly will not agree no matter what

All WordPress sites seem to be under a coodinated attack, so TSZ is flaky at the moment. WordPress serms to have locked admin logins until they figure out what to do.

Ahh man...completely missed the fact that he responded. I was wondering if he'd answer in the affirmative. Given the "yes", my followup question was going to be how reliable he thought this ID detection could be. I mean, what with demons being the "intelligence", you'd think they might be doing one or two things to trick folks.

Maybe the Intelligent Designer is Morton's Demon.
