Hail is Made of Ice

 -

Hail is made of ice. Even a first grader understands that. (The) NOAA defines hail as:

Showery precipitation in the form of irregular pellets or balls of ice more than 5 mm in diameter, falling from a cumulonimbus cloud.

Hail is NOT made of water. Ice is NOT made of water. Rain is made of water. That is of this

Ice is made from water. This is from that. 3rd grade grammar.

What's the point? For years now evoTARDs have been trying to taunt me with what I have said, namely that hail is made of ice/ hail is not made of water. 

For many years these cowardly imbeciles actually thought they had me on something. All because they don't understand science nor 3rd grade grammar.

But what are you to expect from people who think that water becomes ice from some molecular code. Seriously, Kevin Middlebrook told me that. The same Kevin Middlebrook who claims to be a marine biologist yet didn't know that a whale has a tail. Kevin Middlebrook, mister ice, a solid, is made of water, a liquid.

Willful Ignorance is NOT an Argument, Kevin. Fighting COVID-19 with OTC Supplements

 -

Recently I had posted:

The ONLY reason there was a pandemic is because the world’s population is unhealthy. Most of the deaths were due to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Unhealthy as in not properly nourished. It doesn't matter if you can lift weights, swim, bike or run, if your cells don't have the proper nutrients, you lose in the virus Roulette. 

But that is OK as there is plenty of information on nutrition. Always check with your doctor. 

Recent scientific papers have tied the bulk of COVID-19 deaths and severely ill patients to vitamin D and zinc deficiencies. From the Boston University of Medicine we get Adequate Levels of Vitamin D Reduces Complications, Death Among COVID-19 Patients .  

Dr. Holick, who most recently published a study which found that a sufficient amount of vitamin D can reduce the risk of catching coronavirus by 54 percent, believes that being vitamin D sufficient helps to fight consequences from being infected not only with the corona virus but also other viruses causing upper respiratory tract illnesses including influenza. 

The odd part is they say 30ng/ mL is adequate, yet other papers recommend a minimal level of 40 ng/ mL. Minimal. All of this can be achieved for pennies a day in vitamin D supplements. All nursing homes should be mandated to keep their guests at or above that 40 ng level. Primary care physicians should monitor their patients vitamin D level with every blood test. 

Vitamin D is something you need now. If you wait until you get it, it's too late. But once you get to the hospital most places start you on an extremely high dose of D. Might as well prevent the trip in the first place.

There are plenty of other studies on the subject. Just use Google. And that is just vitamin D. 

Zinc. COVID-19: Poor outcomes in patients with zinc deficiency . 

and COVID-19 pandemic: Can zinc supplementation provide an additional shield against the infection?

Take that information and couple it with MedCram 59 , from over a year ago. That is the core of the virus survival kit.

Most of the people, if not all, were deficient in one of more vital vitamins and minerals.

So please exercise. Just don't forget that your cells need the proper nutrition or you may be doing more harm than good.

Over the counter supplements work to fight off influenza, covid and colds. Ignorance is not a prophylaxis.

The Obsessed Kevin Middlebrook Finally Gets Something Right

 -

Kevin just can't help itself. Like a little chirping chihuahua, it tries to take another swing at me: 

This guy, KF and Joe are as predictable as Pavlov’s dogs.

True. Every time an evoTARD posts it typical bullshit I will expose it. That is as predictable as Kevin, et al., being little whiny cowards and gossips. And that is as predictable as the orbits of the planets in this solar system. 

Earth to Alan Fox: You are NOT a Skeptic

 -Nice to see that Alan Fox is still totally clueless. Alan spewed:

Hi, Gregory. Appreciate the drive-by. We skeptics only have one thing in common; our scepticism. 

You cannot call yourself a skeptic and also accept  evolution by means of blind and mindless processes as the cause of our existence. You cannot be a skeptic and also a materialist.

A skeptic would tear in to evolution by means of blind and mindless processes and rip it apart. A skeptic would also tear into materialism and rip it apart. Alan promotes both evolution by means of blind and mindless processes and materialism.

Alan Fox will remain clueless until the end.

Kevin Middlebrook is Still Obsessed and Still Willfully Ignorant

 -

Lowlife and pathetically obsessed loser, Kevin Middlebrook just can't help itself. For some unknown reason it thinks it is being clever by quoting me . I had said:

seeing that DNA does not determine biological form, changes to DNA cannot produce different body plans.

Seems pretty obvious. On the Problem of Biological Form supports my claim that DNA doesn't determine biological form. That and everything we know about DNA supports my claim. DNA is just a template for RNAs. Only mRNA codes for something that influences development. In other words DNA just holds the information for the raw materials needed to build and maintain an organism. DNA doesn't even have anything to do with how the proteins fold. Chaperones take care of that. The fact that silent mutations can cause a protein to mis-fold proves that protein formation isn't just a product of its sequence. DNA doesn't tell the proteins how to assemble.

With the advent of the human genome project scientists have known that there isn't any blueprint for body plans. HOX genes control and influence development. They only determine if the organism will develop properly or not. But Kevin is ignorant of that. It can't think for itself. It is going to stick with the evo-illusion that DNA is a magical organism forming and sustaining molecule, despite the fact all evidence says otherwise.

EvoTARDs are so desperate they will continue to cling to the debris of their failed nonsense all the while denying their failure.

I have been posting the following for years:

To understand the challenge to the “superwatch” model by the erosion of the gene-centric view of nature, it is necessary to recall August Weismann’s seminal insight more than a century ago regarding the need for genetic determinants to specify organic form. As Weismann saw so clearly, in order to account for the unerring transmission through time with precise reduplication, for each generation of “complex contingent assemblages of matter” (superwatches), it is necessary to propose the existence of stable abstract genetic blueprints or programs in the genes- he called them “determinants”- sequestered safely in the germ plasm, away from the ever varying and destabilizing influences of the extra-genetic environment.

Such carefully isolated determinants would theoretically be capable of reliably transmitting contingent order through time and specifying it reliably each generation. Thus, the modern “gene-centric” view of life was born, and with it the heroic twentieth century effort to identify Weismann’s determinants, supposed to be capable of reliably specifying in precise detail all the contingent order of the phenotype. Weismann was correct in this: the contingent view of form and indeed the entire mechanistic conception of life- the superwatch model- is critically dependent on showing that all or at least the vast majority of organic form is specified in precise detail in the genes.

Yet by the late 1980s it was becoming obvious to most genetic researchers, including myself, since my own main research interest in the ‘80s and ‘90s was human genetics, that the heroic effort to find information specifying life’s order in the genes had failed. There was no longer the slightest justification for believing there exists anything in the genome remotely resembling a program capable of specifying in detail all the complex order of the phenotype. The emerging picture made it increasingly difficult to see genes as Weismann’s “unambiguous bearers of information” or view them as the sole source of the durability and stability of organic form. It is true that genes influence every aspect of development, but influencing something is not the same as determining it. Only a small fraction of all known genes, such as the developmental fate switching genes, can be imputed to have any sort of directing or controlling influence on form generation. From being “isolated directors” of a one-way game of life, genes are now considered to be interactive players in a dynamic two-way dance of almost unfathomable complexity, as described by Keller in The Century of The Gene- Michael Denton “An Anti-Darwinian Intellectual Journey”, Uncommon Dissent (2004), pages 171-2 

 We do NOT know what makes an organism what it is. That is we do not know what determines   biological form. So we don't have any idea what, if anything, has to be changed in order to produce new body plans. And I understand why Kevin doesn't understand that.

 

Evolving Languages, Why SteveStory is an Imbecile

 -

Languages change. 

They evolve. 

But they do so by means of intelligent design. 

We are intelligent designers. We determine the meanings of words. We speak those words. Everything about languages involve intelligent agency volition. 

Language evolution doesn't have anything to do with evolution by means blind and mindless processes. EvoTARDs are such clueless losers and apparently very proud of it.

Kevin Middlebrook is Obsessed with Me

 -

Kevin Middlebrook has been exposed as a complete imbecile. It claims to be a marine biologist yet didn't know that whales have a tail. It didn't know that context matters when having a discussion. It claims to be sciency and yet has never demonstrated any understanding of science. Now it spews:

Well, the only ET I know is moronically simple.

And yet ET has exposed you are an imbecile and petty coward. Clearly you lack self-awareness and have some sort of creepy obsession with me. I understand your need to try to bring me down but you can't do it. Losers like you can only demonstrate your own cowardice. 

John Harshman is an Ignorant Ass

 -

EvoTARDs are such a pathetic lot. They lie. They lie some more. And then they spew their ignorance as if it's an argument. John Harshman is such a dipshit. John Harshman, Moron:

The most powerful evidence in favor of common descent is what’s called the nested hierarchy of life.

LIAR. Universal Common Descent does NOT predict an nested hierarchy. The existence of innumerable transitional forms would ruin any and all attempts at putting organisms in nice, neat groups. You have to be willfully ignorant to say what Harshman spews.

Harshman exposes his ignorance in the next paragraph:

"Nested hierarchy”, stated most simply, means that species can be organized into a branching tree: species at the ends of the twigs, meeting in branches, that themselves meet other branches, and finally coming down to a meeting of all branches at the root of the tree. Further, the tree represents the actual pattern of branching descent, with each joining of branches representing the common ancestor of all the species above it.

WRONG!!! You are one stupid git, John.

From UC Berkeley:

The standard system of classification in which every organism is assigned a kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. This system groups organisms into ever smaller and smaller groups (like a series of boxes within boxes, called a nested hierarchy).

And from an expert:

Nested and non-nested hierarchies: nested hierarchies involve levels which consist of, and contain, lower levels. Non-nested hierarchies are more general in that the requirement of containment of lower levels is relaxed. For example, an army consists of a collection of soldiers and is made up of them. Thus an army is a nested hierarchy. On the other hand, the general at the top of a military command does not consist of his soldiers and so the military command is a non-nested hierarchy with regard to the soldiers in the army. Pecking orders and a food chains are also non-nested hierarchies.

So, although nested hierarchies can be depicted as branching trees, not all branching trees are a nested hierarchy. John Harshman is an ignorant ass.

Harshman needs a mechanism capable of accounting for the anatomical and physiological DIFFERENCES observed between two alleged related species like chimps and humans. No one knows of such a mechanism. No one knows of a mechanism capable of producing chimps and humans. 

John Harshman. Proud to put the cart before the horse.

 

 

Peaceful Science: Still Choking on Science

 -

Biocomplexity has a new paper out on bacterial flagella. The minions of Peaceful Science read it and instead of producing any science that shows blind and mindless processes could produce it, they flail away at it like the infant that they are.

An Engineering Perspective on the Bacterial Flagellum: Part 1—Constructive View

Here is the ignorant spewage from peaceful science:  comments from the peanut gallery. The author, Roy, is an assclown. Always "argues" from imagined authority. Pathetic, really.

All of their whining and blah, blah, blah, and  not one of those dipshits has any idea how blind and mindless processes could have produced any bacterial flagella! They are anti-science losers.

Peaceful Science- still a safe haven for cowards and poseurs.

The Green New Deal- When the "Solution" is Much Worse than the Problem

 -

The left is so clueless and anti-science, it hurts. It hurts us. Case in point Real Threats to Planet and People 

The Harris-Biden Administration wants 80% hydrocarbon-free electricity generation by 2030, 100% by 2035 and elimination of fossil fuels from all sectors of the U.S. economy by 2050. This would require replacing coal and natural gas for generating electricity; gasoline and diesel for powering vehicles; natural gas for smelting and manufacturing; and natural gas for heating, cooking and water heating.

Together, this would send the nation’s annual electricity requirement soaring from about 2.7 billion megawatt-hours (the fossil fuel portion of total U.S. electricity in 2018) to almost 7.5 billion MWh per year by 2050. Substantial additional generation would be required to constantly recharge backup batteries for windless, sunless days, to safeguard society against blackouts, cyberattacks and wholesale collapse.

Generating all that electricity without new nuclear and hydroelectric plants would require tens of thousands of 850-foot-tall offshore wind turbines, hundreds of thousands (perhaps millions) of somewhat smaller onshore turbines, and billions of photovoltaic solar panels. Backing up sufficient nationwide electricity for even one week of windless, sunless days would involve well over a billion battery modules. Connecting all this and our cities would require thousands of miles of new transmission lines.

Which leads to:

Just that initial Biden offshore wind program would require millions of tons of materials, including 110,000 tons of copper. At an average of 0.44% copper in all types of copper ore deposits today, that means just those first 2,100 offshore turbines would require mining, crushing and processing 25 million tons of copper ore, after removing some 40 million tons of overlying rock to reach the ore bodies.

The left wants us to cut off our nose to spite our face. These morons are clueless. 

Kevin Middlebrook TRIPLES Down on Its Ignorance

 -

Unbelievable. This asshole doesn't care that it continues to prove it is an ignorant infant:

OH Joe, are you still claiming that frequency = wavelength? Silly child. Did you never learn what the equal sign means?

Really? After I just explained it to you, AGAIN? Frequency and wavelength are INTERCHSANGEABLE in certain contexts. EQUIVALENT (=) is a synonym of INTERCHANGEABLE.

The equal sign, =, goes with the word EQUIVALENT.

How fucking stupid are you, Kevin? Why are you such a willfully ignorant infant? Why can't you actually respond to what I post? That you can't says it all, really. Thank you for being an ignorant dipshit. Still not sure what you are trying to prove beyond the fact that you are a willfully ignorant infant.

Way to hoist yourself with your own petard.

 

Kevin Middlebrook is Proud to be Willfully Ignorant

 -

Unable to cope with the fact that "frequency" and "wavelength" are interchangeable is in certain contexts, Kevin Middlebrook, aka Acartia BlowTard, continues its years-long infantile tirade.

I even provided the little baby with the following diagram to help illustrate my point. Unfortunately it wasn't in crayon, which means Kevin couldn't understand its relevance: 

Absorption Spectroscopy

Anyone can see the top line, Wavelength, and the bottom line, Frequency, are interchangeable. And that when you are talking about a specific frequency you are also talking about a specific, corresponding, wavelength. And that when you are talking about a specific wavelength you are also talking about a specific, corresponding, frequency. To talk about one is to talk about the other. Interchangeable.

Further, anyone can see that a synonym of interchangeable is EQUIVALENT.

That brings us to frequency = wavelength in the context of the absorption frequencies/ wavelengths of CO2. Kevin Middlebrook, a dipshit who wasn't even part of the discussion because it was over its head, decided to chime in on something else it didn't comprehend. Context matters.

This has all be explained to Kevin. Infants don't like to be corrected nor ignored.

Talk about hoist with your own petard! Nice own goal, Kev

ADDED BECAUSE KEVIN IS JUST A RETARDED INFANT:

What Joe keeps ignoring in this response is that he didn’t use his “interchangeable”, or “context” arguments until a year after his frequency = wavelength claim. 

You stupid fuck! AGAIN, I shouldn't have had to say anything! The fact that I had to explain it to you PROVES that you are an ignorant infant!

Until then, he was simply defending the obviously false claim.

Except it isn't false and was easily explained. That you cannot understand it, even after years of having it explained to you PROVES that you are a willfully ignorant infant. 

Hoisted by its own petard and proud of it.

33 years of Global Warming/ Climate Change Failures

 -

This isn't a good time to be a global warming/ climate change alarmist. This is especially so to anyone claiming to be "following the science. Case in point: Global Warming 33 Year Birthday a Celebration of Failures  

1. Expected temperature rise : 1.4 degrees C.  Actual temperature rise: 0.49 C.
2. Expected sea level rise to increase to 2.4 inches per decade due to CO2 caused warming. Actual sea level rise 0.7 inches per decade
3. Expected an increase in wildfires. Actual wildfires have been in decline.

We live during an INTERGLACIAL period. Be thankful and do everything you can to delay the return of the ice age.
