If genetic entropy is a physical law, I’m going to ask why microbes don’t go extinct, considering they undergo as many copy errors in their genomes in a thousand years as multi-celled organisms would in a million years.

A physical law is mot waived simply because a designer wishes it to go away.

Do you have some basis for asserting that an entropy principle differs in operation for one form of life to another? Is there some design manual that you have access to that the rest of us don’t?

Good golly, I’vve answered htis several times-

[[A physical law is mot waived simply because a designer wishes it to go away.]]

Who said anyhtign abotu a physical law being waved? Again read my previous response on microbes to you- it explains it just fine

[[Do you have some basis for asserting that an entropy principle differs in operation for one form of life to another?]]

observation- soem psecies are higly tolorant of corruption, while others aren’t- Frog species are dissappearing at an alarming rate while cockroaches are not- now, can we get back to the paper? If you ask the quesiton again- I’ll be sleeping- but there is your answer.

And that's the crux of the matter. There has to be something overriding the 2nd law.

Entropy is entropy. It applies to all physical systems everywhere. If the 2nd law is to be considered a law, it must be universal, applying everywhere to all things.

The evidence that entropy affects living organisms is in the mutations that occur in them. DNA is not exempt from entropy.

A physical law is mot waived simply because a designer wishes it to go away.

The physical law of entropy is not waived. It is temporarily overridden by something else, as in the examples of aerodynamics and buoyancy in regards to gravitation.
