He's baaacckkk ....

Chris Langan has returned to the ISCID BB!

http://www.iscid.org/boards/ubb-get_...-t-000335.html

Anybody want to start a pool on how long he lasts this time?

Heh. A big boy with a hungry ego needs to be fed. I bet his woman (the other Superbrain fellow of ISCID) is going to show up for some lovin'.

Anyway, I give him a couple of weeks, at least until Micah or John figure out that being subservient to Superbrains isn't quite holy.

You mean Gina the nail tech?

Hoo boy. And he starts off with another bit of empty noise focussing on IQ, claiming that "nature" might be intelligent. It's hard to beat that combination of arrogance and stupidity that he's got.

It's always tempting to try a good-sized chunk of 2 by 4, though....

I'm waiting to see if he answers a question by charlie.d:

"I am talking about the work necessary to input information in a living organism, that is, change the genotype and/or phenotype of
that organism in a non-stochastic way. This ultimately requires kinetically disfavored chemical reactions, and thus an input of energy. If you have any idea about how one can modify the genotype or phenotype of an organism without using up energy, go for it. It's all rather simple chemistry, it shouldn't be too hard to put forward a model."

Bebbo wondered if Langan will answer charlie d's questionDembski has already answered it: It requires no work at all. From Intelligent Design Coming Clean:See? It's simple: Use an infinite wavelength (and therefore unfocusable) zero energy (and therefore impotent) signal! What's the problem, eh?
