Re: Broom's plan
I won't post on your own blog again, John as your singularly arbitrary moderation policy is not conducive to constructive dialogue. I respect your decision to refuse to engage in a constructive dialogue here. Best wishes Alan Fox Edited by Alan Fox, : No reason given.

Re: Broom's plan
Would you like to enlighten me as to what is a lie in my posts here, John?

Re: Broom's plan
Long history, John? I only became aware of you at all about a year ago, when your PEH paper was drawn to my attention (on a discussion forum on English as a second language). I must admit first impressions weren't good. By then you were coming to the end of your career on PT, and you were in no mood to clarify your ideas to laypersons I am still curious as to how your concept of semi-meiosis is necessary to the idea that supernatural beings programmed all information necessary for life to eventually produce the presumed predestined final pinnacle of civilisation we have today. I'm also curious as to what makes you say evolution is finished, or why evolution was needed by your supernatural front-loaders.

Re: Broom's plan
You have never responded to me in any other way than variations on the theme, "read my papers", John. That I have done but if answers to my queries are there, I can't find them. Would it be possible to cite any relevant passages?

Re: Is not this a topic to discuss the content of your PEH?
Not that it matters much, John, but the reason I was suspended (not banned, according to Micah's email at least) was because you threatened to to leave the Brainstorms forum if they allowed me to continue posting there. I see that you are indeed giving a full and in-depth explanation of your ideas there. I also recommend anyone wishing to learn more about your PEH to have a look.

Re: It would seem that this topic is mostly an index to things elsewhere
Sorry about not including links. Try here for an example of the sort of posts that resulted in my suspension from ISCID.

Gene vs Chromosome
John writes: The particulate gene never had anything whatsoever to do with creative evolution. It WAS the chromosome not the gene that was always the instrument of genetic change. A gene is a sequence of nucleotides (generally coding for a single enzyme) in a larger sequence of nucleotides which make up a chromosome. John's assertion therefore would appear to be a false dichotomy.

Re: It would seem that this topic is mostly an index to things elsewhere
Your request for links sent me off down memory lane to find this PT thread, where I first encountered John in the flesh, so to speak. My first post is here. (I was posting as Alan) John was later given his own thread where I asked a couple of questions. John's answers can be found there, too.
While everyone is certainly free to explore John A. Davison's past postings at the above cited or anywhere else they may find them, I think this topic exists as a chance for JAD to divorce himself from such things. Please do not bring past JAD stylistic shortcomings into this topic. Certainly, all are welcome to bring in materials actually relevant to the PEH. Thank you - Adminnemooseus Edited by Adminnemooseus, : See above.

Re: Gene vs Chromosome
John writes: Re: Gene vs Chromosome I have no intention of replying to Alan Fox in any way except to say that the assertion that it was the chromosome, not the gene, that was the unit of evolutionary change was not mine at all but that of the greatest geneticist of his day, Richard B. Goldschmidt. You omitted to mention that in the post I quoted. Does that mean that you don't agree with Goldschmidt? Edited by Alan Fox, : typo
