Riiiight.
We've all experienced your ability to 'communicate' in the 286 pages of this thread so far.
There have been some real gems, but nothing that would pass as 'superlative communication'.

You're really a laugh, but you're really a cry.  Pink Floyd
That seems on target for your efforts.

Russell was an atheist, but not a materialist. His observations on philosophy of the mind are of surprising relevance today. Michael Egnor

Gasbag Arrington follows up his ban of Dr. Matzke with another "permanent moderation" ban on poster Roy who has also been calling Bully on the egregious quote-mining

  Quote Self-delusion on this scale is invincible. Thus, further dialogue with you seems pointless.

I invite the onlookers to go read Origin for themselves. After they have done so they can determine for themselves whether to believe “Roy” or to believe world-renowned DARWINIST scholars Niles Eldredge and Ian Tattersall

linky

What a spectacle.  :D
Another day that will go down in infamy, this time from friendly fire.  Keep shooting Bully!

Quote (GaryGaulin @ Dec. 07 2013,21:41)Do you have a gif that in a cartoon-like way shows something getting zapped by electricity? I could use a good one right now, for ideas, for the Intelligence Design Lab. The critter is currently sensing something happening whenever it's getting a shock from one of the invisible shock-zones. I now need to make it look like it's getting zapped.
You 'need' no such thing.

What you need to do is show how your ridiculous little code swamp connects or relates to the real world of nature.
You need to address the glaring flaw that what little 'intelligence' is in your code is extrinsic.  Your code compares current state with a goal and takes action depending on whether or not the goal has been met.
Yet nowhere in your code is there any room for goals to be set, updated, weighted against circumstances and other goals, nor any of the other factors that weigh in genuine intelligent behavior.
Worse, none of this is shown in your absurd 'theory'.  
You've got a 'model' that is not based on either your 'theory' nor the real world of nature.   You've got a 'theory' that isn't one, nor is it based on the real world of nature, nor cognitive science, nor anything else other than your mental equivalent of "wow, have you ever looked, I mean really looked, at your hands?".

Going on and on about how awful the current state of science or the culture of science is, how badly you "ideas" have been treated, how awful the journals are, how other theories appear to you to have flaws, or any of your other deflection behaviors, accomplishes nothing whatsoever to moving your work forward.  The responsibility is on you to improve your work, work with the world as it currently is, and produce something that will be valued on its merits, rather than derided on its manifest and manifold lack of merits, as your current effluent so rightly is.

You've received no shortage of critiques of your work, but you have yet to step up to the challenge and address the actual critiques.  Instead, you ramp up your hysterical (in the technical sense) deflection behavior.  One can almost imagine your foam-flecked lips and spittle-covered screen as your lash out at all the injustices you allege to have been the target of.  With never a moment's thought as to whether or not the reception you so consistently receive on line might be warranted by your own behavior -- your output, your (lack of) defense of it, and your all but constant announcement that you have completed your work.

You are treated as a laughable buffoon because that's how you present yourself.  You are treated as what you are.

Quote (GaryGaulin @ Dec. 07 2013,15:14) Quote LS3.A: Inheritance of Traits
Each chromosome consists of a single very long DNA molecule, and each gene on the chromosome is a particular segment of that DNA. The instructions for forming species’ characteristics are carried in DNA. All cells in an organism have the same genetic content, but the genes used (expressed) by the cell may be regulated in different ways. Not all DNA codes for a protein; some segments of DNA are involved in regulatory or structural functions, and some have no as-yet known function. (HS-LS3-1)

Right off the bat: Can someone in this forum provide reliable evidence that muller cells, red-cells, white-cells, egg cells, sperm cells, brain cells, and all other types of cells "have the same genetic content"?

And is it true that "Each chromosome consists of a single very long DNA molecule" and that's it? How are you so sure that it's impossible for mobile genetic elements to exist?
As always, a whole bunch of posts from Gary that consist of nothing but whining and, as in this one, the occasional demand that other theories be subjected to rigorous testing -- but not his.  And no defense of his notions.

Gary, what's needed, among many many other things, is reliable evidence that single molecules can learn.  That single molecules have, or are, a 'self'.

Your 'theory' is a shambles, and, at this point, nothing more than a shameless hoax.

Quote (N.Wells @ Dec. 05 2013,17:01)However, there's no point in your pursuing anything like that until you can successfully disguise your atrocious lack of understanding of the scientific method, scientific practices, the basics of evolutionary biology, and so forth.What you are saying is that redefining science to harmonize with Gary's imagination won't get him anywhere? What a loss to the world.

It had to happen.  Bully Arrignton's gasbag ego couldn't take any more embarrassment from Dr. Matzke so..

            Quote Nick, your reputation has already been sufficiently tarnished by your contemptible behavior over the last few days. Your comment that hung in mod was just more of the same, and for your own sake that is where it will remain.

The lying asshole just declares victory, hides Dr. Matzke's rebuttal so no one can see it.

Great job there Asshole Arrington.  You're a shining light for ID-Creationists everywhere.
Whoops.  No one believes you, glorious leader barry:

Best bit:

    Quote He believes that if you keep dissembling and distracting attention from the issue and spewing ever longer posts into the combox maybe no one will notice what a detestable boor he is.

Now look fellas, BA is only practicing the teachings of Jesus, protecting Nick's reputation, and censorship is merciful acting for Nick's own sake.

If only BA would have someone as diligent watching over himself!
