that crazy Walter ReMine....

Now I have heard just about everything...The clown prince of creationist egomania got called out with his britches down and engaged in one of theshallowest, weaselly maneuvers I have seen from a creationist in a long time.On T.O., after a post from James Acker (quoting me ) regardign Haldane's dilemma and ReMines lack of citations for papers providing 'solutions' to it, ReMine writes:"I said MY READERS would be bored by the needless repetition in dissecting all the papers on Haldane's Dilemma. My book
covers the dilemma's concepts and arguments, not 'who said what when'. "This seems a bit odd for the guy who earlier wrote(and ad nauseum has written):"I said Haldane's Dilemma was not solved. Instead it was confused, garbled, and prematurely brushed aside."Hmmm... So can something be "prematurely brushed aside" when, in fact, there were lots of papers on the matter in the literature, AND ReMine simply decided not to cite them. He says that he did not want to 'bore' his poor scientifically illiterate readers. Yet he provides 14 citations in support of a simple explanation of Haldane's model!Is it just me, or is the stench of deception arising from the clown prince? http://groups.google.com/...

It gets better:ReMine:
Let me use Musgrave's words to make the point:

But those aren't Musgrave's words. Musgrave writes:"Trying to compare the appearance rate of beneficial mutations in a
population of 5 individuals with the substitution rate of beneficial
mutations in a population of between 10,000 to 100,000 individuals
is a pretty big blunder to make"Musgrave's main point was that you had changed the population size in
the simulation from the default of 100 down to 5, possibly through
ignorance of how the program worked, and then commented on the
slow rate of substitution.Yet in your quote above, you appear to have changed Musgrave's text to
hide this point, and make it appear that he is referring to the default setting in the simulation.Do you have an explanation?Roy

I have been following it.No surprises - ReMine cries persecution and suppression, his followers circle the wagons and suppress dissent and try to change subjects. ReMine and followers cannot even explain that there is a dilemma, but they say over and over that they have done so.The usual distortions and misdirections.ReMine is a legend in his own mind.
