Dr. John Sanford is a plant geneticist and inventor who conducted research at Cornell University for more than 25 years. He is best known for significant contributions to the field of transgenic crops, including the invention of the biolistic process (gene gun). Like many in his profession, he was fully invested in what he terms the Primary Axiom of modern science, namely that man is merely the product of random mutations plus natural selection (Sanford, 2008, p. v, italics in orig.). He argues that this cornerstone of modern Darwinism is almost universally accepted and rarely, if ever, questioned. In Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome, Sanford proceeds, not only to question the Primary Axiom, but to expose completely the faulty genetic framework upon which the ideology is built.
In the first portion of the book, Sanford builds an analogy for the reader to make complex genetic concepts more palatable to non-scientists. He uses the analogy of comparing our genomethe sum total of all of our genetic makeupwith an instruction manual. The DNA sequences that make up our genes, gene regulatory elements, chromosomes, etc., are compared with letters, words, chapters, and volumes. [NOTE: The term gene is not to be taken as synonymous with trait. Mendelian genetics ...

I always wondered where French came from...
“Genetic Entropy” is an excellent book. Should be read by all who have a nagging doubt that mutation and natural selection really has the wherewithal to turn bacteria into Bacteriorologists. The human genome is rusting down, mutation by mutation, like a old car out in the junk yard.
“like a old car out in the junk yard...”
that’s feels like me!!
I think (thermodynamics) we are breaking down, thus increase of mutations (harmful) and cancers, etc.

Outstanding story.
Well proffered, Mudtiger. Amazing, how cultural development follows the same course of disinegration.
