It is the genetic degeneration of living things. Genetic entropy is the systematic breakdown of the internal biological information systems that make life alive. Biological Genetic Entropy consists of a large set of specifications, and random mutations systematically scramble these specifications — gradually but relentlessly destroying the programming instructions essential to life. Genetic entropy is Genetic Entropy easily understood on a personal Genetic Entropy. In our bodies there are roughly 3 new mutations word-processing errorsevery cell division. Our cells become more mutant, and more divergent from each other every day. By the time we Genetic Entropy old, each of our cells has accumulated tens of thousands of mutations. Mutation accumulation is the primary reason we grow old and die. This level of genetic entropy is easy to understand. There is another level of genetic entropy that affects us as a population. Because mutations arise in all Genetic Entropy our cells, including our reproductive cells, we pass many of our new mutations to our children. So not only do we undergo genetic degeneration personally, we also are undergoing genetic degeneration as a Genetic Entropy. This is essentially evolution going the wrong way. Natural selection can slow down, but cannot stop, genetic entropy on the population level. Apart from intelligence, information and information systems always degenerate. This is obviously true in the human realm, but is equally true in the biological realm contrary to what evolutionists claim. The more technical definition of entropy, as used by engineers and physicists, is simply a measure of disorder. Technically, apart from any external intervention, all functional systems degenerate, consistently Genetic Entropy from order to disorder because entropy always increases in any closed system. For the biologist it is more useful to employ the more general use of the word entropy, Genetic Entropy conveys that since physical entropy is ever-increasing disorder is always increasingtherefore there is universal tendency for all biological information systems to degenerate over time - apart from intelligent intervention. Entropy of the genetic information and evolution Genetic Entropy is the theory that genetic mutations are accumulating to an eventual extinction of all species. The theory was originally proposed by Joseph Muller in and named Muller's Ratchet [1]he imagined it as a means by which selection forced asexual populations to evolve sexual reproduction. The geneticist John C. One of the problems of the secular version of the theory is their belief that natural selection weeds out the deleterious mutations and solves the problem. But, natural selection can only select individuals and not mutations and since selection coefficients change over time there is no observable instance of favorable individuals either. The rate of deleterious mutations has been determined to be an incredible one per gamete. And the rate Genetic Entropy known genetic disorders arising is solid confirmation of this fact. Given the fact that the bible was written without any previous knowledge of geneticsit is highly unlikely that the ages and dates of the patriarchs given in the Bible would follow a biological decay Genetic Entropy predicted by genetic Genetic Entropy by chance. Given these facts it is only reasonable that genetic entropy is not only a solid confirmation of Genetic Entropy decline in which falsifies the central tenet of evolution, but makes clear predictions about the declining Genetic Entropy of humanity over Genetic Entropy as documented in the bible.

Sanford born is an American plant geneticistand an advocate of intelligent design and young earth creationism. Sanford Genetic Entropy in from the University of Minnesota with Genetic Entropy BSc in horticulture. Although retiring inSanford continues at Cornell Genetic Entropy as a courtesy associate professor. Sanford has published over scientific publications. In he retired on the proceeds from the sale of his biotech companies and continued at Cornell as a courtesy associate professor. In it, he claims that natural selection 's being the cause of biological evolution which he calls the primary axiom "is essentially indefensible". His argument is as follows. The minimal rate of human mutation is estimated to be new mutations per generation. Therefore, over time, fitness will decline and, if unchecked, extinction will ultimately result. An important corollary is that "beneficial mutations are so rare as to be outside of consideration. This idea is unsupported by available evidence. In laboratory experiments, viruses saturated with mutations do not go extinct. Genetic Entropy and colleagues developed the quantitative forward genetic modeling program called Mendel's Accountant, publishing several papers on it and genetic entropy in non— peer-reviewed venues. Mendel's Account tracks mutations as they accumulate in digital populations in a biologically realistic manner. Based on his research, Sanford holds that the human genome is deteriorating, and therefore could not have evolved through a process of Genetic Entropy and selection as specified by the Genetic Entropy evolutionary synthesis. Formerly, according to his own account, an atheist [23] from the mids, Sanford has looked into Genetic Entropy evolution —late sOld Earth creation late sand Young Earth creation —present. An advocate of intelligent designSanford testified in Genetic Entropy the Kansas evolution hearings on behalf of intelligent design, during which he denied the principle of common descent and "humbly offered He stated that he believed the age of the Earth was "less than Genetic Entropy years.

  • Victorian Popular Science and Deep Time in “The Golden Key”
    “Down the Winding Stair”: Victorian Popular Science and Deep Time in “The Golden Key” Geoffrey Reiter t is sometimes tempting to call George MacDonald’s fantasies “timeless”I and leave it at that. Such is certainly the case with MacDonald’s mystical fairy tale “The Golden Key.” Much of the criticism pertaining to this work has focused on its more “timeless” elements, such as its intrinsic literary quality or its philosophical and theological underpinnings. And these elements are not only important, they truly are the most fundamental elements needed for a full understanding of “The Golden Key.” But it is also important to remember that MacDonald did not write in a vacuum, that he was in fact interested in and engaged with many of the pressing issues of his day. At heart always a preacher, MacDonald could not help but interact with these issues, not only in his more openly didactic realistic novels, but even in his “timeless” fantasies. In the Victorian period, an era of discovery and exploration, the natural sciences were beginning to come into their own as distinct and valuable sources of knowledge. John Pridmore, examining MacDonald’s view of nature, suggests that MacDonald saw it as serving a function parallel to the fairy tale or fantastic story; it may be interpreted from the perspective of Christian theism, though such an interpretation is not necessary (7). Björn Sundmark similarly argues that in his works “MacDonald does not contradict science, nor does he press a theistic interpretation onto his readers” (13). David L. Neuhouser has concluded more assertively that while MacDonald was certainly no advocate of scientific pursuits for their own sake, he believed science could be of interest when examined under the aegis of a loving God (10).

  • Apologetic Resources
    APOLOGETIC RESOURCES A Young Earth ministry perspective, namely contrasting Scripture to true science now and during the ages. By Dr. Jim Pagels [email protected] 9/2016 Editor Dr. John Fricke, Emeritus Professor of Biology, Concordia University, Ann Arbor, Michigan. Copyright This book is offered as an educational resource on a no cost basis. Contents are not to be reproduced for the purpose of sale. Note that all Scriptural passages are taken from the English Standard Version. 1 I HAVE NO GREATER JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN THE TRUTH III JOHN 1:4 Forward - Although there is much young Earth information available from commercial sources and on the internet, it was the impression of this writer that no resource that deals with basic topical issues correlating the young Earth philosophy and science exists for professional church workers. To this end, Apologetic Resources is being offered. Intended Audience – The intended audience of this reference material is primarily use by professional church workers, i.e., teachers, pastors, youth workers, etc., namely those who choose to uphold the literal interpretation of Genesis and the inerrancy of Holy Scripture. The focus in this regard is Young Earth Creationism and the catastrophic nature of the global Genesis Flood keeping in mind that Genesis 1-11 is foundational to most of the significant doctrines of Holy Scripture. Of course, laymen may well also find this reference a valuable resource. There is obviously a realistic interplay between Scripture, apologetics and true science. The goal of this document is to provide clarity to this interaction.

  • PAPER VI UNIT I Non-Fictional Prose—General
    PAPER VI UNIT I Non-fictional Prose—General Introduction, Joseph Addison’s The Spectator Papers: The Uses of the Spectator, The Spectator’s Account of Himself, Of the Spectator 1.1. Introduction: Eighteenth Century English Prose The eighteenth century was a great period for English prose, though not for English poetry. Matthew Arnold called it an "age of prose and reason," implying thereby that no good poetry was written in this century, and that, prose dominated the literary realm. Much of the poetry of the age is prosaic, if not altogether prose-rhymed prose. Verse was used by many poets of the age for purposes which could be realized, or realized better, through prose. Our view is that the eighteenth century was not altogether barren of real poetry. Even then, it is better known for the galaxy of brilliant prose writers that it threw up. In this century there was a remarkable proliferation of practical interests which could best be expressed in a new kind of prose-pliant and of a work a day kind capable of rising to every occasion. This prose was simple and modern, having nothing of the baroque or Ciceronian colour of the prose of the seventeenth-century writers like Milton and Sir Thomas Browne. Practicality and reason ruled supreme in prose and determined its style. It is really strange that in this period the language of prose was becoming simpler and more easily comprehensible, but, on the other hand, the language of poetry was being conventionalized into that artificial "poetic diction" which at the end of the century was so severely condemned by Wordsworth as "gaudy and inane phraseology." 1.2.

And the meaning of the Scripture supports a creation over six normal meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection is tied to the days about 6,000-10,000 years ago.1 They further contend historical accuracy of the event (the Fall) recorded in that 'if the plain sense makes sense, we should seek no Genesis (I Corinthians 15:21-22). other sense, lest it be nonsense'. Since Scripture is the Sola Scriptura is based on what Paul wrote in II Timothy Word of God, its teachings are correct, even if they disagree 3:15-17 with the opinions of fallible scientists, who are sinful like 15 'and how from infancy you have known the holy all humans (except the God-Man Jesus Christ, of course).

  • Omphalos, Miracles, and Occam's Razor
    OMPHALOS, MIRACLES, AND OCCAM’S RAZOR Bruce S. Bennett Abstract ___________________________________________________________________________ Philip Gosse’s Omphalos (1857), which attempted to reconcile Genesis with science by proposing that the pre-Adamite stage of the world existed only as a Platonic idea, has usually been criticized as violating Occam’s razor and being unfalsifiable. It is argued here that this is faulty, because Gosse makes different assumptions about the data to be explained. The theory was rejected by Christians not because of logical problems but because of its theological meaninglessness. In this it differs from miracles, which also involve the introduction of extra data. Key words: Omphalos, miracles, Occam’s razor, parsimony, Philip Gosse, Incredulous Stare, creationism, science, religion. ___________________________________________________________________________ In 1857, the respected naturalist Philip Gosse, a Fellow of the Royal Society, published Omphalos,123 which attempted to reconcile scientific evidence of geological time with a literal reading of Genesis. The book was published before Darwin’s Origin of Species and, although well-informed scholars such as Gosse were aware of new ideas, the conflict was being expressed more in terms of geology. The account in Genesis seemed to be inconsistent with the evidence, which implied huge periods of time. Many were seeking some reconciliation of the two,124 though it would not be long before the quest was abandoned by scientists. It is important to note that Gosse was not a theologian but a scientist, not only “the finest descriptive naturalist” of his time125 but “the David Attenborough of his day”,126 noted for his popular works and public lectures. He was a pioneer of the aquarium and indeed seems to have invented 123 Philip Henry Gosse, Omphalos: An Attempt to Untie the Geological Knot: With Fifty-six Illustrations on Wood (London: John Van Voorst, Paternoster Row, 1857).

There are only a few books from the old-universe view as noted at the end. CREATION vs. EVOLUTION Scientific Creationism, edited by Henry M. Morris, Institute for Creation Research, Master Books, 1974. Over 22 scientists with PhDs contribute a variety of scientific evidence supporting the creation view. Icons of Evolution: Science or Myth?, Jonathan Wells, Regnery Publishing, 2000. The main evidence supporting the theory of evolution, “icons,” are explained and effectively refuted. The Lie: Evolution, Ken Ham, Master Books, 1987. The theory of evolution is refuted more philosophically than evidentially for a general audience. Biblical Creationism: What Each Book of the Bible Teaches about Creation and the Flood, Henry Morris, Baker Book House, 1993. The entire Bible is surveyed for passages referring to creation or God as Creator. Man’s Origin, Man’s Destiny: A Critical Survey of the Principles of Evolution and Christianity, A. E. Wilder-Smith, Bethany Fellowship, Inc., 1975. A professor with PhDs in organic chemistry and medical science supports the creationist position from both science and Scripture. This is an older but still a useful work. * The Creation of Life: A Cybernetic Approach To Evolution. A. E. Wilder Smith.

  • HISTORY and ANALYSIS of the CREATION RESEARCH SOCIETY by William E
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF William E. Elliott for the degree ofMaster of Science in General Science presented on March 1, 1990. Title: History and Analysis of theCreation ltee Society Redacted for Privacy Abstractapproved: The resurgence of creationismthe past few years has been led by advocates of recent-creationism. These individuals, a minority among creationists in general, argue that the entire universe was created approximately 10,000 years ago in one six- day period of time.Recent-creationists support their position by appealing to the Genesis account of creation and scientific data. Their interpretation of Genesis is based on the doctrines of conservative, evangelical Christianity. Their interpretation of scientific data is informed by their theological presuppositions. The scientific side of recent-creationism is supported by several organizations, most of which had their origin in one group, the Creation Research Society. The CRS is a major factor in the rise of the modern creationist movement. Founded in 1963, this small (c. 2000 mem- bers) group claims to be a bona-fide scientific society engaged in valid scientific re- search conducted from a recent-creationist perspective. These claims are analyzed and evaluated. The Society's history is discussed, including antecedent creationist groups. Most of the group's founders were members of the American Scientific Affiliation, and their rejection of changes within the ASA was a significant motivating factor in founding the CRS. The organization, functioning, and finances of the Society are de- tailed with special emphasis on the group's struggles for independence and credibility. founding the CRS.
