Bingo
It worked again. Isn't that remarkable? Please visit there and enjoy my recent comments on two threads, the one dedicated to me and the one for the DaveScot debate, a debate he has apparently abandoned. I explain why.

They still think Martin and I are the same person at After The Bar Closes. Don't miss it as it is a hoot!
It is hard to believe isn't it?
I love it so!

It is most gratifying for me to see that Leo Berg is finally receiving the attention he always deserved. He is in my opinion the greatest evolutionist of all time. He was able to remain free from the materialism that had engulfed Western Europe without ever postulatng a personal God. He was a completely independent scientist, a rare feature among those concerned with evolution as history so vividly demonstrates. Among recent evolutionists only Grasse really gave him recognition. Stephen J. Gould never mentioned him or even listed Nomogenesis in the enormous Bibliography of his huge "Structure of Evolutionary Theory." Ernst Mayr listed his Nomogenesis in his Bibliography but made no mention of him in the Index. That I found most offensive. Julian Huxley completely dismissed his determinist views in favor of Darwinian selectionism. It is no wonder that I have said that to see the real pioneers in the field of evolution one should examine the authors that the Darwinians have ignored or in some instances overtly denigrated as Gould did with Schindewolf, without question the greatest paleontologist since Cuvier. Even Dobzhansky dismissed his old mentor Berg. I do not have access to Dawkins's books to see if he mentions Berg but I don't see how he could ever give Berg much credence and remain the rabid Darwinian atheist that he most obviously is. Perhaps someone else could check to see what Dawkins has to say about the greatest Russian biologist of his day. I predict it won't be much. As Cyrus Noe once said -
"I read as little of Dawkins as possible."
I'm afraid I am guilty of that too. I find it virtually impossible.
One should be careful what one reads especially when it is penned by such clever wordsmiths as Gould, Mayr and especially Dawkins.
"He that I am reading seems always to have the most force."
Montaigne
and
"We seek and offer ourselves to be gulled."
ibid
"Study Nature not books."
Louis Agassiz
Agassiz founded the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard and he would roll in his grave if he were to see what Mayr and Gould did to the reputation of that venerable institution. I predict with confidence that they, like Dawkins, will soon become only embarrassing footnotes and it is a shame that it has taken so long. I also predict that one day in the not too distant future we will be discussing Bergian evolution.
"Evolution is in a great measure an unfolding of pre-existing rudiments."
Leo Berg, Nomgenesis, page 406
I only wish he could have said "was" rather than "is" but that is a trivial matter. He was a great scientist.

alanfox.blogspot.com/ has once again blocked my comments and now I am also unable to view the proceedings at ATBC. It is all very revealing.

Imagine if you can a thread with the title "John Davison, this is for you," a thread on which John Davison can once again not post.

I love it so!

I really think Alan Fox should inform his clientele why I can no longer post there. It seems to me that is the least he can do. It is gloriously revealing of the total bankruptcy of the Darwinian fairy tale when such tactics become necessary just as it was when Uncommon Descent practiced the same "final solution to the Davison problem." There it was announced by David Springer - "Dr. Davison is no longer with us," the reason being that Springer had received "an abusive" private email from me. That email was my understandable anger that Springer had refused to present my comment which was nothing more than a mild disagreement with his own position. That is all it takes at Uncommon Descent. Nobody questions Springer, not ever. I wonder what Alan Fox's pathetic excuse will be if he even offers one. Since I can still view his blog I will look for it. I still cannot view "After The Bar Closes." I suppose I should be flattered but I prefer to think that I and my sources are feared. I can imagine of no other explanation.
It is a dirty job exposing blind ideology but someone has to do it. I actually enjoy it thoroughly.
I love it so!

This the last time I will clutter "brainstorms" with the machinations of Alan Fox except to say that he is once again allowing me to post. Apparently exposure of his tactics is the key to success in penetrating his pathetic defenses. I hope he will now stop exposing himself. It is so revealing of a failed dogma don't you know.

Please all visit "After the Bar Closes" and see how Martin is making mince meat out of the Darwinian zealots there. It is beautful. Thank you Martin.

Since I cannot post at After The Bar Closes, please post this for Occam's Aftershave (whoever that is) as a response to what Francis Crick believed.
"But according to Darwinian doctrine and Crick's central dogma, DNA is not only the depository and distributor of the information but its SOLE CREATOR. I do not believe this to be true."
Pierre Grasse, Evolution of Living Organisms, page 224, his emphasis.
Thanks and keep the pressure on.

I see that Alan Fox now has a new way of preventing me from posting on a thread dedicated to me in which he has invited me to "hold forth" - (his words). He also continues to deny that he blocks me. Does the man have no scruples whatsoever? Apparently not.
He asks me to "hold forth" only to repeatedly make that quite impossible. I know I said I would not further belabor this mendacity and hypocricy but it is a transparent demonstration of the shabby tactics that continue to plague rational discourse on a subject about which so very little is known with certainty. It really must be exposed and "brainstorms" is about the only venue left where that is possble at least by this investigator. Am I the only one who finds this despicable behavior worthy of note?

Listen to this one folks.
Stephen Elliott over at "After The Bar Closes" is asking me why I don't ever answer a direct question. He wants to know if I am Martin. He seems to think I am. Since I cannot answer his question at "After The Bar Closes" because I am banned there, why should I answer it here? I guess he will just have to keep on wondering. Such is the state of internet communication.
It is hard to believe isn't it?
I love it so!

John
it has no meaning to discuss anything with those people.
I tried support your ideas on Alan Fox phorum. Having problem with logon I wrote as anonymous using VMartin on the top of my post.
Anyway reading some treatise on human vision I am now much more confident that science is incapable to resolve many problems of life.
It seems to me that it was Goethe and not Newton who comprehend better that human vision is not function of light frequency. Problem is more complicated and many recent researches shows that even if in the spectrum some frequency (colors) are missing we percieved them neverthenless!

Thank you Martin.
I believe the whole thing is a giant game. Homo sapiens is the terminal product and he will solve the riddle but probably not in our time and only if he does not commit suicide prematurely which seems to be the most likely outcome. In the meantime the search for absolute truth is the hottest game in town so don't give up - ever.

You are doing great at "After The Bar Closes" as proved by the depths to which they descend to deal with you.
Would you please explain to Occam's Aftershave (whoever that is) that I don't need to defend my ideas as they are published. Furthermore, if the folks at ATBC want to know what I think, they only have to permit me to express myself in that venue.
