Jumping into the deep end at ARN
I don't know if you're keeping tabs on Walter or not, but he tried getting his "Haldane's Dilemma" paper published in Theoretical Population Biology and got rejected.
In that thread at ARN he takes evolutionists to task for (essentially):
Three stages in the acceptance of a new idea:
* First they ridicule it.
* Then they deny it.
* Then they say
they already knew it.
In particular he claims to have made a significant departure from the rest of the field in his understanding of the "dilemma". James Crow and Warren Ewens agreed that his work was correct, but they rejected it on the grounds that it wasn't really anything new.
I happen to work down the hall from Dr. Crow. He knows about my interest in evolution/creation, and he mentioned that he had been contacted by some of the participants in the thread. Dr. Crow was kind enough to write up a response to some of ReMine's claims, and I posted it for him here.
Admittedly, I'm not a pop. geneticist, and I've had some difficulty following the ins and outs of the thread. If anyone has some thoughts or comments I'd be happy to hear them.
