Re: hey
yes-
hey did you just hear NPR on Kanasas and Harvard?
Gingrich is not this forthcoming in answering yes or no. ID is JUST as philosophical as evolution is not scientific. I wish he would have said what it is rather than what he feels. That makes it very clear that Harvard does not recognize that there WAS an objection to final cause. I just dont think id is the final answer. ICR is better.

Re: post in process please sleep on it.
It is a figure of speech by me. Carl Zimmer uses the word 'hook' when describing Alberch's salamander hand work which I didnt get all of the quote typed in above. I decided to refer to my generation since the adult biologists and Harvard teachers just seem to be deaf to it. but no I dont ride horses and it was somewhat just a phrase except that i use in my tv show the work 'hook' with respect to molecular evolution and I show many pictures from my grandfather's museum of claws and bird talons and bat nails. No i dont ride horses. I know schrafinator referred to upstate. That was all. Best, brad.

Re: hey Jude-
Design NOte#1 not Gingrich'sNPRChristianity(i dont know if they edited it or if that is really how he felt)(see ref above)).
By using Cassidy's ADSORPTION AND CHORMATOGRAPHY in HOMOLOGY
(Technique of Organic Chemistry Volume V interscience 195ONE.)
page57
"There may be some question in certain cases about the other boundary of the adsorbed layer, bu at least the one boundary of the interfactr is reasonable definite. All nonmobile interfaces have this simplfying feature, and the mobile interfaces between insoluable monolayers and the liquid substrates usually also show a clear boundary to the adsorbed film."
The whole final effect debate amounts to this sufficiency of superfluidity not being accepted so to leave that aside: if Croizat observed Gladyshev's LAw; can track--width contain a metric as well as a measure,does Earth's motion affect organization of genetic sex etc...I,BSM, simply instantiate perhaps more user control of cross level utility than may be actual but not impossible; outside: the virtual environment the user is haptically reFused in. Re,gardless- there will always be some hardware short of DNA computers substituting for the code following, so there is still plenty of time to investigate haptic engineering mistakes at MIT etc... and newer psychological designs in temperature feedback door knobs etc etc etc before we reach the limit of social tolerance for misapplied funds in bioethics.
So, we ahve analogously then, page 56 OPCIT, "At the vapor-solid interface there is usually little doubt about the location of at least one of the boundaries of the interface. If the adsorptive is insoluable in the solid, the adsorbtion occurrs on the surface of the solid."
I will substitute a cylinder heat shock protein graphic that functions by small molecule contact on one side and DNA abutment on the other as a fake kinetics for whatever we continue to discuss this object to be, have been, will nouemneically taste.

be explained by species origin in single centres of origin, descent

to be reanalyzed given what Carter said,
All the work of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries that we have considered was entirely morphological. The aim was to find a plan behind the great diversity of living forms. Often the plan was regarded as the plan of creation, the plan according to which animals and plants had in the first instance been created, but that interpretation was not necessary to the work.

No thanks... to quote Zappa " I know when I'm licked (all over)". I can appreciate those few who can touch your level of rhetoric, but I ain't one of em. I won't or kant reply. Thats about my highest level of wit tonite.
Until then I have to jump up off a ladder to brush the hem of your intellectual garment, and I know it.

Re: the dong show
Para kindly responded in another thread
EvC Forum: evolution calculations
quote:
Brad, monsieur Derrida would be spinning in his fresh grave if he heard his name mentioned in connection with that piece of prose, especially when, in the last paragraph of this post, I will 'deconstruct' it for you, or rather, give you the rough recipe for its reconstruction - perhaps much to the chagrin of Robin, for it removes the poetic quality entirely.
But first let me tell you my reason for posting it in the first place. I have noticed that whenever somebody feeds you something intelligible, you come back with a dissemination of ideas (another Derridian favourite!) that even Jacques lui-mme would have had great trouble deconstructing in any meaningful way. So I thought: maybe it works the other way around as well. Feed Brad complete gibberish, and who knows...? And it seems to have worked: I could actually follow what you wrote back. And I liked it, it read like a scene from a Charlie Kaufman film.
And how perceptive you were in that last remark! For here's how I produced the gibberish: I took two words from your post, 'biophysics' and 'orang' (which I extended to 'orangutan') and googled them. The second hit was a PubMed text, the abstract of which I ran through an automatic translator, converting it to Japanese. Then I converted it back to English, then to Russian, then back to English again. I believe French and Portugese were also involved, I don't quite remember. The resulting text I introduced to you with a sentence that began in an inconspicuously normal way.
"Therefore we will be incoherent, but without systematically resigning ourselves to incoherence" - Jacques Derrida.
contra JD we DO have a culture of blinking on the net for Derrida said, "The foliation is here considered in itself, as object and not as accessory. If it does without signification and representation, this is no longer at all like the frame. The frame does not signify anything, and that's that, Kant seems to think."Truth inPatinting but he ALSO allowed himself to write as if it were possible, "After having proposed " a more discriminating vocabulary" - here the word "isomorphism" - he reorients in a manner that I find very lucid and very sound teh very premise of his choice toward another logic or toward another structure that of the "metaphorical catastrophe," which changes the whole scene and forces a ...I also wonder, without at all making an objection,how to determine the "outside" of science that Johnson talk about..."
it was not a sematic issue we recently got to at evc but an issue about how if at all the niche is passed in human generations should the biology have been specified it was not but the inversion appeared nontheless. Its hard to see. Having said that I will probably not be able to recall this particular use. It was there nontheless. If one is to make anything bioloigcal into or out of Derrida's book I quoted one must respect the word perversion no matter that Ampere used it first in this sense I think. Gould thought this was outside the kind of Agassiz. It cant be even if Derrida rasied or thought no objection. He can turn in his cartouche all he wants and the pieces wont fall out his quadrate.
I am going to double check But I believe the reason that your destruction of the method of your post did not paint a dissemination is because the reason the niche might have been misthouht by is that Sheppard in NATURAL SELECTION misspoke when he wrote, "Haldane points out that, in fact, in such species dominance seems to be at least as common as in outbreeding forms, which is contrary to expectation on Fisher's hypothesis. It must be remembered, however, that inbreeding species must have evolved from outbreeding ones and the dominance, therefore, may have been evolved in their outbreeding ancestors." for I continue to doubt this applies, where the logic needs, to "These more active genes will not produce a different character and therefore will not be at a disadvantage. However, if the amount of enzyme is reduced by the presence of a less active alleomorph, by environmental influences, or by both, the more active form will be at an advantage as the loss of activity will not result...will be a saftey factor of 2...will result."
You wont be able to google up a non-incoherent post-reply no matter how many Klingon lingos you translate through. It should be verifiable nonetheless. Energy of destruction and entropy are not the same in this placed space.

Brad and I have drifted off-topic in the cloning thread, so I'm going to respond to his latest post to me here instead of there.
quote:
You can not disagree with me about ID lest you let Greene opinion BE the norm of rejecting scientists like me from ever becomeing educated. Too bad, I already am.
I never once doubted that you were educated, Brad. But I still think ID is more properly classified as philosophy rather than science. That in no way lessens the importance of the ideas behind ID, at least as I see it. Philosophy can be just as important as science but in a different way and for different reasons.
quote:
From this opnion of your and Greenes's which isnt objectionable intself not only came the inabilty to cognize what I said about life making BUT AND CRUCIALLY it sociall ALREADY supported PSYCHIATRY removing individuals, such as my self, from culture.
You've been removed from culture because of your ideas regarding ID and science? That sounds terrible but if the only reason for doing such a thing to you was your ideas regarding ID and science then someone somewhere has done much worse than make a "mistake", they've done you a horrible injustice. I may think you're wrong but I certainly don't think you should be removed from society. Not only is it an injustice to you but it's a loss for society.
quote:
It's the elite and the money that gets its philsophical way.
I agree.

IT IS NOT OFF TOPIC- there were two physical things that happened, more than that happens every time you log on. Cloning resutlsI said depended on one of the four things in that thread but it was not ID that got me removed it was one of the four cloning ideas that people who expreess the ID is but philosophy. SO NO - you went off the topic. If I had double removed you you might not have been able to notice what I am saying just like you cant tell the difference betweem nmn and mnm. I cant! from disseminations I CAN UNDERSTND ID in ways were mispresented by GREENE but not the interview on NPR.
WHAT YOU SAID was that preblastulas arent technically different than the use of topology in topobiolog and this CAN have ID effects. It is not your fault that physicists are pretensious about evolution, that's just the way they are taught.
Of course there was something more than a mere mistake. An attorney in Albany told me I have a case against Cornell. But just as Bill's finger made it mine would not and not becuase I dont have a case but because I dont have money. Just look at the issue over judges in the supreme court. Rather than talk about people we are talking about how long ALL HUMANS live and that that makes judges living too long!
The mistake that was made is a prelude to some future disaster in nanecology. It will be too late after that. What happened to me is personally worse but not for society. It is hard when I am up agasint a lover, a family and a school and still it have to be NOT MY mistake. My creature comforts were taken care of, but that is not who I am.

Re: Individual evolution at work in Brad?
nope. I just wonder if the Egyptians might not have understood and/or still do understand snake color patterns BETTER than western science.
please dont cut the head off.In the text at the top I speculate that snake skin might be as good for "vision" as the eyes. If snakes can hear with their jaw bone why cant they use the refractive powers of light on their skin via melanin to qunatum mechanically sense (as in Comptons(wrong name)? spinning black and white panes are molecularly moved)?? where the melanic cell can "gaurd" against thermal motion of molecules against such a "demon". Could all the talk about Maxwell demons be bunk for a renewed interest in hieroglyphics??
If so the blue color would not be suspect to Ooook's cells(base color issue) and narrative continuity would reign where we have questioned the use of equations in evolution. And yes I have a lot of BSM text investigating this. All that is required is the existence of an isothermal in the body. I am certain of that now after thinking with Gladyshev for a year. The rest is falsifiable.

This is just great. I think we have finally arrived at the same page.

that might have been what it "looked" like on my b-day.

but in the many stamps of my grandfather's this is the only one where the color actually shewed.

If your page shows a number of stamps and mailings to a Dr. Willard F. Stanley then yes, I suppose we've arrived at the same one. I'm not sure why you posted this, though. It is interesting, but you didn't explain why it was relevant.
Do I take it that Dr. Stanley is your grandfather? The Australian Birds thing is intriguing, is there a story behind it?

I guess I have appreciated your recent comments but I was still being annoyed by
EvC Forum: All about Brad McFall. IN THIS THREAD
quote:
That's a strange question. Monod's death? No one is accusing your grandfather of being the cause of Monod's death. What I was asking is why is Monod's idea not attributed to your grandfather, as previously you claimed you could abstract that idea from your grandfather's work? It was as if you were accusing Monod of stealing your grandfather's idea. But now you're saying that you're not even sure that Monod even read your grandfather's work.
ONLY
but really this must be just my instinctive tendency for really I am trying to stop posting not continuing to do so.
So here is some of Stan's "work"
