Re: Resorting to spamming us
ringo:
So you are capable of learning. Congratulations.
Kleinman:
You are absolutely right, dumb dumb.
ringo:
And you'll probably learn more by respecting your teachers.


Whoever taught you thermodynamics blew it.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

That has been explained and you clearly did not understand. It's well beyond your level, which is why I offered to answer kindergarten-level questions for you.
First of all, do you understand the difference between "B and C evolved from A" and "C evolved from B"?

All zero of your explanations and all zero of your links to papers that explain the evolution of drug resistance and why cancer treatments fail are the most convincing. And your explanation of "B and C evolved from A" and "C evolved from B" shows your degree of mathematical understanding of biological evolution. Now I know why "D and U evolved from M and B". So, please go on.
Kleinman:

ringo:

Taq hasn't done the mathematics of the Lenski experiment, he does the mathematics of imaginary populations with an imaginary selection condition and as many variants as he wants that increase in fitness without ever going to fixation (though he calls it fixation). And Lenski hasn't acknowledged my explanation of why biological competition slows adaptation based on the first law of thermodynamics but he has heard it. So, let him continue to not understand why biological competition slows adaptation or let him learn how the first law of thermodynamics affects his and all experiments of descent with modification in a limited carrying capacity environment (as well as all real examples of biological evolution). Of course, if he did understand how the first law of thermodynamics affects his experiment and understood how descent with modification works, he could mathematically model his own experiment, which he hasn't done.

Kleinman still does not know asexual vs sexual
Still waiting for any acknowledgment from him that there is a vast difference between asexual reproduction vs sexual. He must be a real hit with the ladies.
Also, he does not understand that a conversation requires two people. Shaking your fist at and barking at the moon is not a conversation.
Lenski's quick and concise response to me shows that he regards Kleinman as an unstable potential personal threat. I have contacted academics about cranks in the past. Rarely do they respond with such vehemence.

Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts

"God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Well, I'm glad you noticed that I expressed it mathematically. But do you understand it?
Kleinman writes:

You're getting ahead of yourself. Stick with A, B and C for now:
B represents reptiles
C represents birds
A represents a common ancestor
So B evolved from A
and C evolved from A
But you have been saying that C evolved from B. That is a serious misunderstanding of biology. (AND a serious misunderstanding of mathemqtics.)
Do you understand yet that you are wrong about B evolving into C?

1st law of Theromdynamics
You keep bringing up the 1st Law of Thermodynamics but have yet explained why you think its is relevant or an explanation of how it affects evolution.
Go for it,

So, you are claiming that combination therapy doesn't work for HIV, weeds, and insects? Your speculations about sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction are countered by the facts.
Lenski still hasn't posted the correct mathematical explanation of his own experiment and he still doesn't know why competition slows adaptation. These are public facts.

However, I am happy to give you a kindergarten-level lesson in thermodynamics. Go ahead and ask questions.

So, you never studied thermodynamics? That must make you an expert. Why don't you explain to us how you solve a three-dimensional partial differential heat transfer equation that is transient and has conduction, convection, and radiation heat transfer? Make it simple, you can assume the properties are uniform.

Re: Kleinman does not know asexual vs sexual
Kleinman:
And your explanation of "B and C evolved from A" and "C evolved from B" shows your degree of mathematical understanding of biological evolution.
ringo:
Well, I'm glad you noticed that I expressed it mathematically. But do you understand it?

You are a math wizard. You have shown you know the ABCs of biological evolution.
Kleinman:
Now I know why "D and U evolved from M and B". So, please go on.
ringo:
You're getting ahead of yourself. Stick with A, B and C for now:
B represents reptiles
C represents birds
A represents a common ancestor

So B evolved from A
and C evolved from A

But you have been saying that C evolved from B. That is a serious misunderstanding of biology. (AND a serious misunderstanding of mathemqtics.)

Do you understand yet that you are wrong about B evolving into C?

I get it now, it is EIEIO, right, old MacDonald?
