Genetic Entropy? (Accidently Posted in "Introductions" Forum)

Genetic Entropy? (Accidently Posted in "Introductions" Forum)
I have been prodding around on Creationist Websites for fun and I came upon this:

http://blog.drwile.com/?p=10038

In this he claims that Genetic Entropy now has evidence is it's favor.

He cites this paper published in Theoretical Biology and Medical Modelling:

http://www.tbiomed.com/content/pdf/1742-4682-9-42.pdf

To which the paper claims to have found Mutation Accumulation in the genome of the H1N1 virus from the 1918 flu, which seems to be in favor of Genetic Entropy.

Does anybody have some thoughts on this?

P.S. Is it just me or does it sound like Genetic Entropy is a reformed term for Muller's Ratchet?

P.S.S. I'm not actually a geneticist or biologist, but I understand some stuff like Transcription, Translation, DNA, etc. So it would be great if somebody could explain this, but still have the detail in it.

P.S.S.S. Could a Mod delete my post in the "Introduction" forum? I posted in the wrong spot. Sad

Thanks! Big Grin
