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

RE: Genetic Entropy? (Accidently Posted in "Introductions" Forum)
(August 13, 2014 at 12:10 pm)Mister Agenda Wrote: This one is pretty easy to refute. First, get an estimate of how many generations it should take for a species to go extinct because of genetic entropy. Then remember that mice go through three or four generations a year, and figure out how long ago mice would have gone extinct if the earth is 6,000 years old. I've heard 400 generations, which means mice should have gone extinct by at least 3,000 BC.

I'm trying to put myself in the creationist's shoes here.

Firstly, not so sure why they are talking about Genetic Entropy supporting creationism. It is self refuting! Why? Why would an omnipotent and omniscient god let this sort of thing happen? That sort of god is very stupid.

Secondly, Agenda, wouldn't the creationist just go and say "Oh the mice isn't extinct because God did it!"?
