quote: Um...so you are saying that if one expresses RNA from any random sequence you will get a phenotype? Instead of Hox genes just overexpressing ACGTCCCGTTTTCCCC will lead to fly segment development....then I guess alchemy must work to. ..the way you wrote that in addition to evolution, you do not believe in classical genetics or developmental biology either.

quote: How can we know Peter? You ignored (or dismissed) my post and refuse to propose your theory, demonstrate how it is falsifiable, and provide supporting data from multiple disciplines....As yet you have presented nothing but an absolute inability to grasp what a random means but have proposed no alternative hypothesis. Please propose your alternative hypothesis as requested.

This is how logic (I know you have a problem with it so let me explain again) works:
1) Old testament was written2) New testament was written 3) So, new testament is not a part of old testament. Yes, Mammuthus, although the old and new testament together comprise the bible, the new testament is NO part of the old testament.Likewise, the Neutral Theory is NO part of NDT. So, you once more provided me a faulty analogy. In this case it is called a DISTORTION. It is a fallacy!!!!" Best wishes,Peter ************************** LOL!!!LOL!!!LOL!!!!!!!!!I have the problem with logic...look at your three points! 1)donuts have a hole 2)bagels have a hole 3)therefore bagels are not baked according to the Borger treatise on logic. As for distortions...you also distorted what I posted...I said have nothing to do with each other..not part of...

[QUOTE]Originally posted by peter borger:
[B]Dear mammuthus, In response to my comments to SLPx: "You ask: "Did you have anything substantive?" I say: Ever contemplated trisomy 21? The only difference between diploid 21 and triploid 21 is that the approx 150 genes of chrom 21 are present 3-fold instead of 2-fold. So the phenotypic changes observed in trisomy 21 are NOT due to mutations in proteins or mutations in regulatory sequences. They reside in the amount of gene expression. This completely deregulates phenotypic development. best wishesPeter ************************************ You write:"Ever heard of genomic imprinting? Obviusly not." I say:"Please expand a bit on genomic imprinting in the context of trisomy 21 (I am here to learn, too.)." As the human genome is further studied, the rest of the imprinted genes should be identified...imprinting has not been extensively studied in trisomy 21 as a causal factor specifically but more as a factor in the variation of the phenotype of Down's. Here is one reference followed by several review papers.(Hopefully you can get access to them as they may require a subscription) Muller F, Rebiffe M, Taillandier A, Oury JF, Mornet E. Parental origin of the extra chromosome in prenatally diagnosed fetal trisomy 21.Hum Genet. 2000 Mar;106(3):340-4. Tycko B, Morison IM. Related Articles, LinksPhysiological functions of imprinted genes. J Cell Physiol. 2002 Sep;192(3):245-58. Review. PMID: 12124770 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] 2: Baylin S, Bestor TH. Related Articles, LinksAltered methylation patterns in cancer cell genomes: cause or consequence? Cancer Cell. 2002 May;1(4):299-305. Review.

PMID: 11931223 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] You say:So you claim that mutations in promoter regions have no effect on gene expression? Wow, alert the papers..you have just overthrown genetics and developmental biology. I say:"You are extremely good in distortions (=fallacy). Where exactly do I say this? ***************************************************** You have no sense of irony and you mistate my posts selectively (the only proof of anything non-random you have) constantly "So the phenotypic changes observed in trisomy 21 are NOT due to mutations in proteins or mutations in regulatory sequences. They reside in the amount of gene expression. " Please be so kind as to show the data that no mutation leads to the non-disjunction causing trisomy 21 in the first place....As far as I can tell the cause of trisomy 21 is as yet unknown. You say:"At first I did not question your having a degree in biology but now I like Schrafinator am seriously beginning to wonder." I say:"There are many thing one can wonder about. For instance, I could wonder about where you finished your kindergarten or prime school or whatever. But I don't, since I find it a waste of my time. I have better things to wonder about" ********************************************************** Wonder harder, you have a knack for telling everyone they are wrong or do not know their own subject material while refusing to back up you alternative (or even propose it) and claiming as your evidence for the refutation of evolution the fact that you don't understand molecular biology. I guess pharmacologists in Australia don't get much training in the basics anymore You say:"Still waiting for you to propose your theory....*sounds of crickets chirping*" As said before say:Please, have a little patience. Why don't you have a look at my reply to Mark24 mail #73, and maybe provide me with some good scientific comments. *******************************************++ duck and run again....Peter, just admit that you are a fundamentalist christian who is so scared of how science conflicts with a literal interpretation of the bible and will distort or willfully misunderstand an entire biological discipline in order to hold on to a comfortable fantasy...otherwise post your theory and the supporting evidence as requested...this is getting old. have an nice weekend Mammuthus

Dear SLPx,
In response to your writing: quote:-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by peter borger: Dear SLPx, For instance, NDT was set up in the 1930th and 1940th. The Neutral theory (NT) was set up in the 1960th and 1970th. So, NT can not be part of NDT. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This may come as a shock, Peter, but actual scientific theories adapt to changing information. The NT may not have been part of the NDT that was originally formulated in the 30s, however, it is foolish to suggest that the NT does not play a role in the ToE of today. I say:How exactly does your answer relate to my previous response? *********************************************************** Only fundamentalist religion attempts to maintain a static worldview...science incorporates new data (and actively seeks it out). Do you really think nobody has done any research in evolution since Darwin? That is the context I get from SLPx's post...why do you feel that nobody considers the NT as playing a role in ToE? I say (as mentioned earlier):"What on earth do you require a neutral theory for anyway? If it demonstrates something it is stability of phenotype. Not change, or evolution as you like to have it" Peter, please get a book and actually learn something about evolution before spouting such nonsense as these last three sentences.

[QUOTE]Originally posted by peter borger:
[B]Dear SLPx, The good part about the NT theory is that it can be tested and it has been shown to be right (to a certain level, it depends on the DNA region, genes one studies). That's why I like the NT. And that's why I can use it as a scientist. And that's where it differs from the hypothesis of evolution that has never been and cannot be proven. Best wishes. Peter **************************** "Please define the NT in its entirety, show the tests that have been done, provide the relevant citations, and the areas of controversy. Which DNA regions....oh and how exactly do YOU use the NT as a pharmacologist? And more disturbingly, since when are things "proven" in science? You may want to brush up on the scientific method.___________________________ PS. I happen to like this game. Always happy to see someone who enjoys losing

quote: No, I criticize other evolutionary biologists all the time to just not on this board However, I keep asking you to present your hypothesis and you refuse so it is hard to really believe that you have anything substantial to say. If you read the Free for All response I gave, I am not asking you for a hypothesis on abiogenesis. Only your speciation hypothesis and the evidence. Also how it is a testable hypothesis. Oh yeah, I am a happy person to cheers,Mammuthus Adminnemooseus edit: Touched up UBB code [This message has been edited by minnemooseus, 09-16-2002]

quote: Hi Peter,I look forward to the hypothesis. Post 97 does not present a hypothesis. It is mostly you saying that Futuyma is wrong without backing up the statement with data. Nothing that you wrote is new. And bacteria obtain antibiotic resistance from one another via conjugation by the way. But aside from that I rather you post the hypothesis itself and then we can argue it and the data that supports it that I also ask you to present. Otherwise this thread is merely becoming the Peter Borger does not beleive in evolution thread which is boring. Cheers,Mammuthus

If you could convince them that the bible tells them to paint their butts red and swing from a tree at noon every day you can guess what they would all be doing on their lunch hour...and it should not be hard to convince them to do this since they require no evidence to backup their claims or beliefs...

Well Peter, another new thread of yours and yet still no proposal of a testable hypothesis, supporting data, or a theory....what a surprise.
I'm off line for the next week because of travelling and I can make a non-random assumption that you will spend the next week posting your misunderstandings of evolution but not propose your alternative theory...and that is a warranted conclusion based on weeks of your posts. Cheers,M
