Speciation, genetic load, sexual reproduction, deleterious mutation, DNA error-correction schemes, diploid genetic structure and triplet-codon coding structure.

All either evidence of decline or features designed to resist decline.

How have you determined that decline resistance is "designed"?

[GourmetDan]

Whether or not it is designed is not the question.

You can (and evos do) assume RM+NS *designed* these features, do you not?

I merely point out that, either RM+NS has 'designed' features that intentionally slow the very evolution that created them in favor of conserving existing information and resist decline (a rather remarkable and fortunate change of direction for a 'directionless' process) *or* life was intelligently-designed to conserve existing information and resist decline.

Either way, that life was *designed* to conserve existing information and resist decline is not in question.
