Reddit reviews Genetic Entropy

Genetic Entropy

Error catastrophe is not the same as genetic entropy: they would look related to a layman, suggesting error catastrophe is the acute form.

However, like many forms of poisoning, the chronic form doesn't exist: there are mechanisms in play that prevent this, mechanisms ignored in his simulations -- and his H1N1 work redefines fitness in order to make the data fit his hypothesis.

But if you're willing to look past that, you might shell out $20 for his book. Real science isn't sold in $20 increments, however.

This is where I find creationism overlaps with conspiracy. He tells you there's a problem, then sells you a book on it.

Not really. Professor John Sanford of Cornell U. is a genetic researcher and he became a Christian as a result of his studies of the human genome. The genetic evidence points to what we see in the Bible. So there is recent established academic work supporting what the Bible shows. There is a lot of info online about it. I'd check that out and if it really interests you, here's the book.

Ok, let's check one of the claims of the video. The video claims John Sanford's work was featured in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. Hmm:

And is Sanford a Creationist? Hmm:

And it is seems Dzugavili thinks he knows better than a Ivy League famous geneticist of 40 years. Dzugavili's counter to Sanford?

> Genetic Entropy presents compelling scientific evidence that the genomes of all living creatures are slowly degenerating - due to the accumulation of slightly harmful mutations. This is happening in spite of natural selection.

My argument is about recessive mutations not being effected by natural selection, and not about slightly harmful mutations occurring in spite of natural selection.
