Actually, this is common practice is the scientific process. While it
is essential that scientists share their data, code, and models with
other scientists at request, sharing it with the general public is
not required. By you not publishing in peer-reviewed journals, you
have not proven that you are capable of using the simulations
correctly. You could misuse them, or misudnerstand the results, and
promote this "flaw" in your findings. If you wanted to collaborate
with Nunney, he might be more open to the idea. But giving someone
who is untrained your data is laughable. The reason this is the norm
in science is that if you were capable of using this simulation, you
should be capable of creating your own based on his paper. Most peer-
reviewed papers are detailed enough, providing assumptions and
methods, that anyone should be able to re-create the simulation.

Evolutionist withholds evidence on Haldane's Dilemma
For many years I have publicly claimed Haldane's Dilemma is a major
unsolved problem for evolution. A problem so severe it threatens
macroevolution as a "fact" and evolutionary genetics as an empirical
science. Toward a solution, evolutionary geneticist, Leonard Nunney,
published a paper reporting his computer simulations. He claimed his
computer simulations show rates of beneficial evolution much faster
than the Haldane limit. Evolutionists now cite Nunney's computer
simulation as a refutation of my position.
Starting December 19, 2006, I sent emails to Prof. Nunney, expressing
my interest in his paper, and requesting access to his simulation
software. After several emails, across several months, I eventually
reached Professor Nunney by phone on April 5th. He acknowledged he had
received my emails, and said he had not responded because I "do not
publish in peer-reviewed journals." (his words)
I again requested his software for my examination of his published
results and methods. He declined, saying he will not share his
software with "people who do not publish in peer-reviewed
journals." (his words)
I'm sure Prof. Nunney is a fine person, but this is bad public policy.
Nunney's simulation is claimed as a solution to Haldane's Dilemma.
(Quite falsely, I would add.) And Nunney's work was done at a tax-
supported institution, (the University of California, Riverside). And
Haldane's Dilemma is part of a high profile public controversy
directly affecting our politics, and our public schools - where
evolutionists exert monopoly control. Evolutionists have an obligation
to be forthcoming on the matter. Yet they are withholding their
evidence.
Haldane's Dilemma is a scandal several decades long already - and the
scandal keeps getting worse.
