Since it seems that you understand a little bit of probability theory, why don't you teach biologists about the "at least one" rule and the multiplication rule of probabilities? I have. You are the one who refuses to learn. And just what the fuck does your "reply" have to do with anything that I had written there? Are replies yet another thing that you refuse to understand? Stupid troll!

As I recall, Dredge kept abusing his edit privileges so they were suspended. That is why his Edit button does not work.
Rather than resubmitting entire posts again (thus wasting even more bandwidth), do not submit a post until you have reviewed it. That is what the Preview button is for, as I have advised you previously. One can always tell a creationist. One just cannot tell him anything. A better alternative would be to write your posts in your favorite text editor, verify that you have corrected any typos, and then copy-and-paste it into the edit box. Basic computer skill that everybody knows ... except for creationists, I guess. You can always tell a creationist, ... .

No, not that one, that's observationally wrong, an error of logic and a rather stupid and un-Christian remark. Uh, yeah it's "un-Christian". Christian B. Anfinsen was a Jew. An Orthodox Jew for that matter. Judaism is too good of a religion to be sullied by Christian BS. Though he wasn't always a Jew:
quote: So he converted to Judaism in 1979 at the age of sixty-three for one of the most common reasons for converting to Judaism: marriage. Before that, he was an "orthodox agnostic." I do not know what he meant by that, but he is cited from eight (8) years after his conversion as saying that his religious feelings were still strongly influenced by his "fifty-year period of orthodox agnosticism." That would indicate that his conversion did not involve any radical change in his beliefs, which remained strongly agnostic. Wikipedia describes agnosticism as:
quote: Myself, I'm a militant agnostic ("I don't know ... and neither do YOU!") That would appear to fall under "strong agnosticism", which I would assume is what Anfinsen's "orthodox agnosticism" falls under. Also, the more complete Anfinsen quote that I've found is:
quote: This brings us to the fundamental problem of quoting an expert in one field making unqualified statements (AKA "his own personal opinion") in an entirely different field in which he enjoys no expertise. A well-known example would be Fred Hoyle, famed and esteemed astronomer (and coiner of the term, "Big Bang", in order to denigrate that idea) and creator of that creationist favorite, the probability of a tornado in a junkyard spontaneously constructing a 747. Reading his book's section on that tornado, I found that he did have any clue how either evolution or abiogenesis works/would have worked, choosing to invoke single-step selection, the idea (and probability math model) of an entire complex structure (eg, a 747) assembling out of pure random chance (eg, a tornado going through a junkyard). Despite being an expert in astronomy, he was very ignorant of biology, so while his opinion in most aspects of astronomy might carry some weight, his opinions about some aspects of biology were just plain crap and carry no weight. Same with Anfinsen. His expertise was in biochemistry (earned him a Nobel Prize), but that does make him any kind of expert in religion. His personal religious opinion was just as valid as anyone else's, which is to say near-zero validity.
ABE:
Only an idiot would put too much, if any, stock in a random quote of an expert expressing an opinion that is completely outside of his field of expertise. But such an idiot is Dredge.

As we all can clearly see, it's a scum-sucking bottom feeder.
Besides, you are clearly the one committing the idiocy I describe in Message 879, so you are clearly identified. You willfully stupid idiot.

Even the concept of atheism is irrational. It implies the knowledge of everything in the universe. Wow! Is there anything that you are not completely wrong about? Or are you just projecting your own deficiencies onto others? Instead, it is theism that claims to have complete and perfect knowledge, whereas atheism is just saying "No, you don't have complete and perfect knowledge, especially about the supernatural." You also believe (and depend on entirely) in human infallibility, while we reject such a ridiculous belief. Rather and clearly, it is the concept of theism that is irrational, because it implies complete and perfect knowledge of the supernatural which has been passed down perfectly and without error for many generations over millennia (ie, human infallibility), all of which is completely beyond human capability. Theists claim to have complete and perfect knowledge about the supernatural and want to sell us their bill of goods. Atheists just refuse to buy that pig in a poke. Seeing through a swindle and not falling for it is quite rational.

OK, black or white.
We have to choose between the complete and utter bullshit utterances of "sensei" (disregarding what complete and utter fools would ever choose him as any kind of teacher) and reality. Sorry, dude, but reality wins. But really, why is that idiot still around?

Nah.
A palm reader or other diviner does have a definite skill of reading the mark. "sensei" doesn't even have that.
