Good find.
Good to know, indeed.
I think this is his third pass through EvC and as I remember now his message and manner hasn't changed. It doesn't surprise me that there are other forums where his work has earned skepticism rather than serious consideration.
When he said "National Library of Medicine", a light went off and had kind of a deja vu flash. I had looked at info about the library and there were some interesting critical reviews of the library's poor quality vetting, in recent years, because they're overwhelmed with submissions. The NLM is the world's largest repository of medical information, and Kleinman's 3 articles are mostly unnoticed amidst millions of others.
It seems to be widely recognized that he is a crank. Nobody (except creationists) takes him seriously.
That seems like what happened on his prior visits here. This time it took me a while remember him from earlier, and he seems a lot more pissed at biologists because we all think he's a crank.
ABE: This will give me something to mull over on the road tomorrow and when I get home I want to go read about their interactions with him at other discussion groups.

Re: Addition Rule Confusion
Biologists should explain how antimicrobial drug resistance evolves and why cancer treatments fail but biologists have failed at their job.
You wish. Biologists explained all this decades ago.

Re: Addition Rule Confusion
Biologists are such slow learners.
Well, we really like to be familiar with our subjects, biology and evolution, subjects that are clearly beyond your capabilities. Taq's the guy I would expect to be able to give the most reliable explanations in this field. So far, all we have seen from you is yammering on and on about the same 2 experiments, and flailing about completely misinterpreting everything everyone says to explain your errors, like a whiny 10 year old girl.
You are a crank and a bullshit peddler and you do it online so lots of people are aware of your views. You have an amazing amount of negative peer review out there.

Re: Addition Rule Confusion
Tany, you have neither the training nor the experience to understand the discussion I'm having with Taq. At least Taq has some understanding of the effect of the multiplication rule on biological evolution. Taq's problem is that he doesn't have the numbers to make universal common descent work and he is now starting to understand that. A billion replications don't give much opportunity for adaptive evolution to operate, even if you include recombination. Try doing some homework next time you make a post. When you search for a mathematical explanation of the Kishony or Lenski experiments, you will only find my papers. Biologists aren't trained to do hard mathematical science and you are a perfect example of that.
Like I said, the same pathetic bullshit, from the bullshit peddler. 60 years and you still get it wrong. A whiny 10 year old. The world is ignoring you.

You don't seem to be making a noticeable difference and all that stuff seems to be your job description (antimicrobial drug-resistant infections, failed cancer treatments, herbicide-resistant weeds, and pesticide-resistant insects).

I suppose that's possible, but none of that stuff is in my job description. I will be sure to tell my clients that some creationist says I'm a failure, but I'm keeping my microscope since I paid for it with my own money.
