Are you ever going to post from a real journal?

These WWN Bat Boy follow-ups really don’t have much reliability.

For more recent evolutionary theory see ‘The 10,000 Year Explosion: How Civilization Accelerated Human Evolution’ by Greg Cochran & Henry Harpending.

2B: You and Henry assert that populations that adopted agriculture were much influenced by the development, and in non-insignificant, deep-in-the-biochemistry sorts of ways. What would your favorite examples of those adaptations be?

GC: Metabolic/diet changes like lactose tolerance, many changes in genes involved with defense against infectious disease, many changes in genes that affect hearing and smell, changes in neurotransmitters and related genes that most likely influence personality, changes in genes involved with the regulation of nerve connections and brain growth.

“Facilitated variability”. Sounds so....designed by an intelligence.

[Ira_Louvin]

“Only intelligent design can explain such data. There are no
naturalistic explanations.”

That statement alone invalidates this paper as any type of creditable scientific review.

This paper could not stand up to peer-review outside of the pseudoscince world known as “Intelligent Design”

We both know that science only looks at naturalistic explantions. Any thing else falls out side of the realm of scince. The supernatural is not testable and thus is not part of the scientific method.

Please explain in detail how you could falsify their assertion?

Looks interesting. I'll have to download and read it later.
Thanks for posting.

Have you ever heard of anyone subjecting the philosophy of falsificationism to falsification, testability? Or whether it is even possible to do so?

And secondly, do not scientists look for corroboration of their theories instead of contradiction? For example, if I perform an experiment I repeat it with the hope, expectation that I will get a similar result not a failure to do so. More positivism than falsificationism?

The philosophy of falsificationism is being offered up as an objection so it prompts my question.

No matter how much you huff and puff, the stuff you post is about as marginal as it gets. If reality ever actually penetrates the world you inhabit and you finally realise that science has been moving on without you guys for 150 years and will continue to do in the years ahead, I fear for what sanity you have left. I don’t know what will hurt more; the fact that you have been wrong or the indifference that science accords you.

Does this replace punctuated equilibrium?
