|The crap Sal is spouting about diffusion equations in population genetics is just so annoyingly wrong.|
Oleg, please be a bit harsher on that clown. At least point out that (1) Kimura is not the pioneer of diffusion equations in popgen, but Fisher (1922) and Wright (1931) were, as Kimura of course acknowledges. (2) The (deterministic) selection part of the equation dominates the (random) diffusion part when Ns>>1. (3) He's a lying SOB with wet dreams about Jeebus taking him in the arse.
Did Sal flunk his physics studies at John Hopkins by now? It's hard to imagine that such an idiot would be able to get a degree in physics.
I think it is like the lack of sense of humour. I'm sure that he can pass by memorising equations and following procedures but fails miserably when he has to make intuitive leaps.
I think other than pure ignorance, this is the only reason a creationist can remain a creationist
