You've been off your hinges for years.

And still getting the same replies to his not-a-theory.

[QUOTE]Ah, so you already know how insane he is.

Hahaha, any rebuttal of his idiotic ideas that also incorporates the Underpants Gnomes gets extra points.[QUOTE]

All from the same thread Gaulin linked to.

Gaulin, Postcardo has taken over your asylum, so back on your meds, please.

Now here's a question,Gary if you had kids would you auction them silently? Oh excuse me, I see re-reading that the ones in uniform are free. What rocks can you afford?

It would have required six F-1 engines in the first stage to be a Saturn VI, one more than the Saturn V. At least I think that's why it was called "Saturn V," five hellishly hot rocket engines in stage one.

Edit: Changed J-2 to F-1 (I'm not a rocket surgeon), to correct it. J-2 is hydrogen, 2nd stage on Saturn V--I think.

Calling a professor an “idiot” or a “big baby” is downright rude, and I expect the guilty parties to be manful enough to apologize.

Haha 500 pages of whining, dodging, weaseling, avoiding, goal post moving, distracting, nonresponse to vaild questions and completely deluded absolute nonsense is the reality Gary. You have zero qualifications in any science field. Not one. You have produced zero evidence to support any of your ridiculous ideas. Even Edgar who is certifiably crazy thinks your stuff is shit let alone the UD crowd who avoid talking to you less the tard rubs off onto them . ID is dead and buried only the rusted on idiots continue to flog the carcass. Dembski was hounded out of his last respectible bible school, given up his own version of goddidit because the bible thumpers thought it was too agnostic and is stuck rotting in some bumfuck sunday school.

What have you achieved? Nothing. Name a single conversion, publication or person that supports your drivel.

Oh and at Edgar's current posting rate he will overtake you in no time. Which will make you look not just stupid but lazy.

You've never explained anything here.
You lack the faintest notion of what counts as an explanation.
After over 500 pages of your abuse of the English language, we have all the evidence we need to prove that.

Mapou:
I am quickly losing interest in UD. I sense a hidden agenda and I don’t like it.

The ID movement has long been divided between those who want to develop a coherent scientific theory, and those who don't want or need one to make their religious agendas appear to be one (by instead attacking other theories).

The only scientific way to solve the problem was to develop the testable model and theory that for-real explains how "intelligent cause" works:
theoryofid.blogspot.com/

The only scientific option now is for UD to help develop that. We'll soon enough see what happens..

I sent Barry an email asking whether I was banned or not. We'll soon enough see what happens with that.

Yes, in the scientific arena the "best explanation" wins. Very good:

As you must know by now the premise of the "theory of intelligent design" is quote:
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.

Now where is your "best explanation" for how the said "intelligent cause" works?

After you provide a link to your testable model and theory we'll compare it to mine. And may the best theory win!

But, of course, your nonsense has zero explanatory power.
You've never been able to genuinely explain a single phenomenon.
Worse, you can't even explain how to determine which 'features of the universe' are best explained by 'intelligent cause'.
That there are such features is entirely non-controversial. The important question, one of many you keep running away from, is which one, and how do you know?
You're as clueless about that as Edgar is. He at least offers up an incoherent pseudo-categorization scheme. You can't even manage that.

[Gary at Sandwalk]Science is made of scientific theories that explain how things work or happened. If you don't have a scientifically testable model and theory to explain how "intelligent cause" works then you have no evidence that such a theory is even possible. But I do. And because of the way science works the only scientific path you now have is to help develop that, and that's a whole lot better of an option than really having no scientific theory at all.

You cite the paper that expands "inference to the best explanation" by identifying key features of consilience, simplicity, and analogy. Of these, analogy is powerful but treacherous, simplicity is nice but can be misleading in a world of complex causation and positive and negative feeback, and consilience is fantastic.

You on the other hand have none of that. You don't even have decent analogies. Your premise is vague and consists of you begging your desired conclusions. Your evidence is non-existent. Your claims are unsupported. Your computer model simply does not address your most controversial claims. The few times you cite facts, you typically get them wrong (hippocampi in insects, salmon defending nestfuls of young, and so on and so forth.)

Your pile of nonsense is not a theory. It leads to no testable predictions. (How can it be tested when your language is so vague and ambiguous?) Your definitions are invalid to non-existent, and you lack operational definitions.

Your nonsense, if it were to be considered seriously, would be a step backward. "We don't know" is a much better foundation that your stuff.

Hi Gary
So under these rules how is" best explanation" measured?

---------------------------------------------------------

Gary Gaulin - Saturday, October 31, 2015 1:11:00 AM

Hi Bill, since a theory is a testable explanation for how something works or happened: the best explanation will best explain to scientists how to model how intelligent cause works and what happened during events such as the Cambrian Explosion, and without needing to resort to (as in Darwinian evolutionary theory) a "natural selection" based explanation.

After having a testable explanation it is possible to compete for which theory (ID evolutionary theory or Darwinian evolutionary theory) best explains how "evolution" works and how to model the process. That gets measured by which one scientists find most useful in their science work and may depend on which area of science the theory is being used for. I'm not sure about paleontology but the ID theory I defend is way more useful in cognitive science than generalizations that cannot explain how intelligence and intelligent cause/causation works (and predicts a biological "singularity" type event of some kind is possible).

The first step is to develop a testable theory with at least as much explanatory power as the (Darwinian) "natural selection" based explanations. Without that the only thing you have are arguments against another theory and when properly legally challenged will result in another trial that ID will lose, just like in Dover.
