- Well, I sucessfully invalidated Kalki's proof (that
- evolution is too improbable) without seeing it; the flaw is
- the lack (anywhere) of any model of abiogenisis or any
- estimate of the computational power of evoltuion. Kalki
- _agreed_ that there are no models for these things, and
- then went on to attack all of evolution because we couldn't
- model these quantites.
-
- So Kalki claimed evidence for a creationist position,
- admitted he was lying, and then went on to degenerate into
- stupid, ignorant attacks on evolution based on complete
- ignorance of the subject and science in general.
-
- An he did it in RECORD TIME!!!!
-
- Therefore, by the powers granted me by the State of Intoxication
- I award
-
- (contestant's name here) Kalki

- who could imagine a faster journey in reverse down the path of
- evolution? From confused newbie to admitted liar and ignorer of
- careful refutation in _one week_.
