Richard Lenski is a Willfully Ignorant Fool

This relates to yesterday's post. Lenski ignorantly wrote:

Evolution can’t explain these functions, according to Behe, because you need everything in place for the system to work. Strike one! Lambda’s J protein required several well-matched, interacting amino acids to enable infection via the host’s OmpF receptor.

No, dumbass. That J protein is only ONE part. And guess what? You don't have anything to explain its existence. STRIKE ONE ON LENSKI

The Edge of Evolution , Behe’s second book, claimed that evolution has a hard time making multiple constructive changes, implying the odds are heavily stacked against this occurring. Strike two!! Lambda required four constructive changes to gain the ability to use OmpF, yet dozens of populations in tiny flasks managed to do this in just a few weeks.

The Edge of Evolution refers to genetic accidents, errors and mistakes. This example is clearly a case of "built-in responses to environmental cues". Meaning it did NOT happen by chance. STRIKE TWO ON LENSKI

Darwin Devolves says that adaptive evolution can occur, but that it does so overwhelmingly by breaking things. Strike three!!! The viruses that can enter the bacterial cells via the OmpF receptor are not broken.

Double- dumbass. "Overwhelmingly" does NOT mean "every single time". And AGAIN the book refers to evolution by chance, ie Darwinian evolution. STRIKE THREE- LENSKI WHIFFS.

Lenski cannot explain the existence of life. Lenski cannot explain the existence of biological reproduction. And Lenski definitely cannot explain the existence of that J protein nor the virus nor E. coli.

Lenski thinks science is done via fairy dust.
