Yes it is.
Now what?

Let's see how well established the theory of evolution is. Why does combination therapy work for the treatment of HIV?
Nope, it doesn't work like that, it's your claim the the ToE isn't well founded. You now have to explain why.

Sorry, if you want to challenge 150 years of scientific effort and concensus YOU have to do the heavy lifting. Persuade us.
And, by the way, put away the patronising bollox, it's not helping you.

Fantastic so why not just explain it all to us, then collect your Nobel prize?

You've got two jobs to do Kleinman
1. Explain this great secret you're teasing us with
2. Explain why it shatters the ToE
At the moment you're behaving like a troll.

There's plenty of people here capable of reading and understanding anything you have to say without 'introductions'; put it on the table and stop dicking about with this patronosing bollox.
You've managed to piss off everybody here with your childish approach, take the hint, if you have something to say, just say it.

Well this is a wasted opportunity. Kleinman came along with a patronising teacherish attitude and stupidly extravagant claims which he refused to support.
Had he chosen to take a different route by properly explaining his ideas on his specific issue of combination therapy for HIV treatment he might have gained some traction and maybe even been able to move a little way towards a ToE discussion. Instead he chose to piss everyone off. He should have been choked off at his 3rd or 4th post that said simply this:
quote:
The answer to the question I ask you contains the reason why the theory of evolution is not true. I'm trying to get you to figure this out yourself.
That approach was never going to win him any friends.
