LA Times 03/31/2020 “Tuesday morning, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) took to the right wing airwaves of Hugh Hewitt’s radio show to unveil a theory of his own on why America was so unprepared for a looming pandemic: The federal government was too distracted by the impeachment process to work on anything else.

“It came up while we were tied down in the impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the attention of the government because everything every day was all about impeachment,” McConnell claimed in the interview.”

Weird Dream

Another personal post

I had one of my most amusing ever dreams the other day.

I woke up laughing.

It was a Wild West,

Private Eye,

Old Babylonian adventure!

The first part I recalled was that I was buying a revolver for my left hand with a special "quick draw" holster for my gun belt. The R handed was fine, but I wanted a special backup left hand mounted about mid-line on my navel. I got that done and tried a few practice rounds.

My job title was Private Eye- Minor Demons Exorcist- Licensed Assassin.

The current contract was a mid-level priest of the god Shemp (?Three Stooges?).

My client was a wealthy trader who's daughter was sexually assaulted by the priest.

I had filed for an Ordeal by Combat which was to be a shoot out at the arena.

The arena was supposed to be the Roman Colosseum, but in the dream it was Anaheim Stadium.

On my way into the stadium I stopped off at a video vending board to make some bets. I bought a $10 blessing from the Ugaritic god Ba'al conqueror of the Babylonian Sea God Yam. I put a $5 dollar curse on the priest in the name of Shemp. And I put all the rest of my credits on me to win since the fight was to the death.

What woke me up laughing was that I was dressed up all in black cowboy clothes like Richard Boone in the old TV series The Paladin: Have Gun Will Travel.

My Writing

I rarely make personal posts.

This is one.

When I write it follows a stereotypical pattern;

1) I have an idea,
2) I obsess about the idea,
2.1) I re-read all the scientific literature I can to be sure that the idea is original,

1-2 often take years, and always take months.

3) I write for days and weeks,
4) I write for days and weeks,
5) I quit when I am personally satisfied,

That is it really. I don't really care about publishing.

Lots of Hate Mail

Bill Ludlow's YouTube interview of moi about James Tour's lie fest has generated hundreds of angry creationist comments on his channel.

I have been replying quite often. Any regulars here are welcomed to join the fun.

https://youtu.be/wfSE8J_bj1Q

Taking a break from James Tour

I was recently advised of an essay by David Gelernter enraptured with Steve Meyer's 2013 book "Darwin's Doubt." Meyer has basically claimed that the Cambrian Fauna had no precursors therefore GOD DID IT! err, The Magic All Powerful Un-named Sky Daddy DID IT!

David Gelernter's errors of fact and reasoning began almost immediately. For example on the first short page he wrote, "Intelligent design as Meyer explains it never uses religious arguments, draws religious conclusions, or refers to religion in any way."

ID creationism has no theory, and the founding individuals admit it is merely a religious argument devoid of science.

Philip Johnson;
"This [the intelligent design movement] isn't really, and never has been, a debate about science, it's about religion and philosophy." World Magazine, 30 November 1996.
"Our strategy has been to change the subject a bit so that we can get the issue of intelligent design, which really means the reality of God, before the academic world and into the schools." American Family Radio (10 January 2003).

In a 1999 article for the Christian magazine Touchstone “Signs of Intelligence,” Dembski confirmed the foundation of ID in John 1 when he assured readers that "Indeed, intelligent design is just the Logos theology of John’s Gospel restated in the idiom of information theory." (“Signs of Intelligence,” 1999).

Michael Behe: "Well, I've said that quite a number of times. I think I said that at the beginning of my testimony yesterday, that I think in fact from -- from other perspectives, that the designer is in fact God." Dover, 2005 Day 12 11PM, Cross Examination by Eric Rothschild.

Paul Nelson, "Easily the biggest challenge facing the ID community is to develop a full-fledged theory of biological design. We don't have such a theory now, and that's a real problem. Without a theory it's very hard to know where to direct your research focus." July/August 2004 Touchstone Magazine interview.
  
Second page


I was hoping to limit my replies to David Gelernter to just one error per page of his six page spew. But the second page alone had not one error that was more lame or inviting comment than the others. I had to pick two.

The first new paragraph has this truly outrageous false statement;

"Meyer and other proponents of I.D. are the dispassionate intellectuals making orderly scientific arguments. Some I.D.-haters have shown themselves willing to use any argument—fair or not, true or not, ad hominem or not—to keep this dangerous idea locked in a box forever."

Here are some "dispassionate intellectuals making orderly scientific arguments" utterly and totally debunking ID creationism;

Mark Perakh 2003 Unintelligent Design New York: Prometheus Press

Robert T. Pennock (Editor)
2001 Intelligent Design Creationism and Its Critics: Philosophical, Theological, and Scientific Perspectives MIT Press

Matt Young, Taner Edis (Editors),
2004 Why Intelligent Design Fails: A Scientific Critique of the New Creationism Rutgers University Press (My contribution, Chapter 8 “The explanatory filter, Archaeology, and Forensics” was used in the 2005 Dover ID trial).

Barbara Carroll Forrest, Paul R. Gross
2004 Creationism's Trojan Horse: The Wedge of Intelligent Design Oxford University Press

Andrew J. Petto (Editor), Laurie R. Godfrey (Editor)
2008 Scientists Confront Creationism: Intelligent Design and Beyond W. W. Norton & Company.

These are all very calm and modest compared to the ID creationists whining about the mean ol' science meanies that exposed their frauds. And for a great example of "ad hominem" see the recent attacks from the Discovery Institute directed at me.

The second gross error, page 2 and continuing...

David Gelernter gets busy with Steve Meyer's main argument that there is no possible scientific explanation for the Cambrian Explosion so therefore God (err the super special designer dude) did it!

First, apparently David Gelernter has limited his reading to creationist sources. I'll suggest to him, and anyone fooled by him to read the following professional literature;

Valentine, James W.
2005 On the Origin of Phyla University of Chicago Press

Erwin, Douglas H., James W. Valentine
2013 The Cambrian Explosion: The Construction of Animal Diversity New York: Roberts and Company Publishers

Steve Meyer cites James Valentine, and Douglas Erwin many times in his book, but never seems to get their argument straight. He seems to mention them merely to say he is unconvinced, and so it is magic after all.

The Cambrian was the focus of Meyer's 2013 book, and we will revisit this in greater detail later.


I think I'll just send interested readers to Jerry Conye's commentary on Gelernter written last May, and a compilation of reviews of Steve Meyer's "Darwin's Doubt."

I have just read an expanded critique of Gelernter's creationist essay; "David Gelernter is Wrong About Ditching Darwin." that I highly recommend.
