"In his book Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome, award-wining geneticist and young-earth creationist Dr. John C. Sanford argues that most mutations simply don’t produce a strong enough effect to influence natural selection. As a result, organisms continue to build up deleterious mutations as time goes on. This leads to an erosion of the genome."
The assumption here is that the mutations built up are "negative". Someone's probably already said something along these lines, but I've not followed the intimate details of the conversation thus far. So, sure. We've got genes that can fuck around with people and inconvenience them, but that doesn't prohibit the carrier from... well, fucking. Diabetes, allergies, etc. But, thing is, most of those could be quite dangerous in a raw, primal survival situation. Drugs and technology are essentially keeping those genes in play, because people are able to survive those things.
But hey, if these Creationist Scientist Geniuses have it all figured out now, why don't they propose a solution to the problem they've found instead of just trying to point it back to their imaginary friend and his appointed child-butt-fuckers?
