Creationism and Genetic Entropy (Any geneticists around?)
#1
Creationism and Genetic Entropy (Any geneticists around?)
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! Big Grin

gonna move quickly ctrl-c and ctrl-v

Could a moderator quickly move this? Thanks!

My knowledge of genetics is not very deep except for the basics, but I don't have to be a genius to point out the stupidity and delusion of creationism

By the way, Welcome buddy, you seem like a cool guy

Edit - Maybe saying something about you, your gender, what to you do for a living, just a little bio would be great. And tell us if you are an agnostic atheist or strong atheist, anti-theist, etc.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
