Dr. David Berlinski: School vs. Education (Clip 18)

The producers of the critically-acclaimed documentary "Icons of Evolution" sat down for an interview with Dr. Berlinski. This is a clip from that interview.

David Berlinski was raised in New York City, educated at Columbia College and recieved his Ph.D in philosophy from Princeton University. He later became a Fellow of the Faculty in Mathematics and a Post Doctoral Fellow in molecular biology at Columbia University.

@nolobede cool.

[nolobede]

@irhjma30000 '

And yes, did you notice? I copied the typo just so it would disturb you further....which goes toward the point. In contrast to the fact that Berlinski's blatherings have no relevancy to the topic... missing a vowel in a word, actually still does get a point across.

@irhjma30000

Seems we've found the problem then... a bit of a comprehension issue on your part. Thanks for sharing it. Seems though that the other readers are quite able to find clarity in my post. And as for content, yes Berlinksy is an expert at blathering pointlessy as in this and so many other fine examples. Personally I don't care about Dawkins as I assess each statement on its own for contextual & semantic value, ie., this fine example of an articulately vacuos, black hole of verbage

[irhjma30000]

@nolobede Yet you couldn't even put a sentence together in a way that made complete sense, nor could you spell correctly. And I find it interesting how you say that after listening to hours and hours of Berlinsky, you find he has nothing in the way of relevant context or argumentative content. Ironically, I've done the same with Richard Dawkins and not heard anything at all substantial or argumentative.

@5tonyvvvv Life had a 50-50 chance of using L or R amino acids, it can't use both. What's the problem?

[5tonyvvvv]

@Ahabite Homochirality and hydrolysis would prevent life from ever staring!! The soupists seem to think that proteins self-assembled from a mixture of amino acids in the primordial soup. If true, how do you explain the fact that the earliest proteins only formed from L-amino acids? The soupists try to get around this by supposing that there was natural enrichment for L-amino acids over D-amino acids in the soup. Either way Racemic Mixtures NEVER WORK!!!

@jkculberson Can you give me an example of a "helpful scientifc discover [y]" that is based on geocentrism?

Actually, name as many as you can.

I bet you can't, because you are hoping no one calls you on your moronic claims, or if they do, that you can change the subject.

Oligarchy...really? Like the religious oligarchies which have popped up over the millenia?

Are you just upset because science is hard and you resent your inability to do it?

I bet you CAN do it!! I support you 100% TRY

[Ahabite]

@5tonyvvvv If gregrutz is a "stubborn moron", what does that make you? You are staggeringly ignorant about science and I would guess most everything else you talk about.

Have you ever looked in a book and learned anything? I would love to see you describe, in science terms, or some way that shows you understand, why self-assembly of amino acids is impossible w/0 our interference.

Guessin it isn't going to happen.

Fred Hoyle, who seems not to have understood the process of evolution-- like you

[nolobede]

I've listened to hours and hours of Berlinsky.

And to give him full credit and fair analysis: I've never heard another human being (Wm Craig is close) as capable of eloquently and articulating absolutley nothing relevant to his cause. He is paid by the Discovery Institute to sound viable to the undiscerning or uneducated ear.... This he likely achieves.

But for relevant context and argumentative content?... Berlinsky is articulately vacuos, a black hole of verbage

[jkculberson]

@gregrutz Geocentric astronomy survived thousands of years of human scrutiny from the greatest minds in history, and many helpful scientific discoveries were made based upon that theory. It seems as if neo-darwinian evolutionary biologists have invented organic epicycles exponentially more complex than Aristotle's in order to preserve their comfortable oligarchy.
