KF has a new buzzword:
[QUOTE]DiEb, I have just showed how one of the authors connects to the corpus, and above you spoke to that corpus. My point is, that corpus is not in isolation from wider sampling, thermodynamics and information issues; also, the points I made about searches are directly relevant. KF

If you want to see insults to G-d, just read the O.T. There's lots of stuff there that could be taken as slander if it was said about a person.

Kairos @10,

the accusation that I am a troll is not new. It is not that I am a troll, it is simply that every single argument raised on this site, every new ‘book’, every new proof of naturalism’s failure to answer complexity, every new post by NEWS, is smply not new.

You find something you hav not described in nature, or in the human body, or in the cosmos, and say look, ‘design’.

Scientists sigh, and say, ‘we don’t understand this yet, but please don’t jump to God!’

I am not a troll, I am simply waiting for something, anything that actually points to design, that is not hearsay, incredulity, or God of the Gaps.

I don’t stay on threads because they are peopled by the likes of Dionisio, or even yourself, with endless tedious predictable tirrades.

TWSYF @12,

my reason for coming to this site ever since Dover has never changed; I am watching a slow, evolving implosion. I may be banned, I don’t care, I will still visit.

It is fascinating to observe the demise of a once very vocal and confident community, full of the huff and puff of a once reverred figure, Dembski, turn into the rants of the almost ureadable NEWS and Co.

I don’t troll, I observe, and it is wonderfully satisfying to see science tiumph so infatically over woo.

A little question…..

On the subject of the Origin of Life, what can one teach, (other than Creationism) that is consistent with all the peer reviewed empirical evidence?

Thanks for the post. Its obvious you’ve put a lot of work into it.
I disagree that this shows evidence for ID. While the protein is unique to vertebrates as you say, the domains that allow the protein to perform its function are not. In fact the CUT and HOX domains were discovered first in drosophila and the SATBIN domain is in flies as well. These domains are also part of larger families which perform similar functions.
Ecclesiastes 1:9 says “there is nothing new under the sun” This reflects the fact that many of the things we at first think are new are really conglomerations of old things. This applies to many of the ‘novel’ proteins in vertebrates which are really just new combinations of old protein domains. This provides a good debating tactic for IDers. When we don’t know much about a new structure or protein it can be claimed that it required an infusion of information from an intelligent source. But when we discover how random genomic events could have created this new entity it can be dismissed as not really new.

When one does a protein blast with humans one finds sharks with about 80% but as one gets closer to humans that number increases. The chimp protein is 100% identical. Its hard to explain why this would be the case for domains using ID since presumably the human HOX domain would work just as well in a shark. Its even harder for ID to explain the pattern of differences in the sequence between the domains since its function is to hold the domains together and an astronomically large number of aa sequences should suffice. Its also hard to explain why the pattern of difference would fit the same nested hierarchy build by assuming evolution from anatomy and the fossil record.

The pattern of differences between SATB1 and SATB2 are fairly easy to explain and I admit I don’t understand why they suggest an irreducibly complex system as you say. An ancestral SATB gene would have duplicated in the vertebrate common ancestor. In each lineage the 2 genes would have accumulated differences starting from that initial divergence. When 2 lineages split from each other the SATB1 and SATB2 genes would then start to accumulate differences from their homolog in the other species. This is a pretty straightforward explanation that explains the pattern. I don’t see how one could explain the same pattern in terms of ID.

new guy, i think

Of course nothing's happening—you'd need four parts, and it wouldn't work if any of the four were missing, so such a pun would necessarily be Irreducibly Complex.

It’s not just the genome.

I’m putting together courseware based on a Neurology book, and in the process I’m learning all sorts of stuff that wasn’t known 10 years ago. The glial cells were considered to be padding until somebody looked closely. Now the glia are turning out to be a skilled and varied army of technicians taking care of the neurons.

Just one example: Oligodendrocytes spend their time knitting myelin sleeves around axons. Most of their work is done in childhood, but they remain around in case the sleeves start to unravel. If you wiped them out, you’d guarantee MS.

who is this UD commenter who knows anything about biology? It's weird.

I mean, I learned that stuff in HS A&P, but even that level of knowledge is unheard-of over there.
