YECs believe in genetic degeneration from the original (separately created) ancestral kinds, not goo-to-you, information increasing, random mutation-driven evolution. There is a much greater genetic distance to travel from goo to you than the degeneration from the original created kinds to life in its present form. In short, Creation/ID is far more plausible, no matter which way you look at.
So what is the precise definition of 'genetic degeneration' again, and what is the evidence that it has exclusively taken place?
How about an operational definition of 'ancestral kinds', and maybe you could throw in a reasonable-length list of the 'ancestral kinds'? Creationist websites seem curiously shy about this stuff.
'Information-increasing': remind me, what is information, and how does one increase it? Why is evolution supposed to increase information, and what is the evidence that it cannot?
I am very forgetful, so please explain once more the definition of and algorithm for computing 'genetic distance', and why the greater genetic distance between goo* and me as opposed to my ancestral kind and me makes evolution less plausible than special creation.
*Goo? Does goo even have a genetic code? How do you compute the 'genetic distance' from something that doesn't have a genetic code?
