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.
Thanks!
oops posted it the wrong place
gonna move quickly ctrl-c and ctrl-v
Could a moderator quickly move this? Thanks!
