Re: Trying to give nwr more than a vague understanding of DNA evolution
all that i would add, not being a scientist or a creationist is that there is a distinct difference between chance and true randomness versus a set and measureable probability.

Re: Does competition accelerate DNA evolution?

The reason his model won't work is he is using an incorrect assumption. I do not make the assumption that he makes and have rewritten the transition matrix so you can use a Markov chain model to correctly predict DNA evolution. I'm just finishing the paper and will be submitting it for publication by the end of summer.
Just a few quick comments.
  • dwise1 is actually a man named David Wise. He has argued with Biblical Creationists for years and I see that he has lumped you into that category. Now be honest with me. Do you see yourself as a man gifted somewhat in mathematics who is a proponent of Intelligent Design? If so, have you managed to get the attention of the Discovery Institute at all? My advice is to stay humble and let your opponents become arrogant rather than you yourself. If you are in fact representing Intelligent Design, the Intelligence behind that design---the same intelligence that you likely thank for giving you math skills, wants you to stay humble.
