I am no scientist but decided to check out the phrase 'genetic entropy' which was mentioned in a recent Christian Comment article and lambasted as an unproven creationist theory.

Life is too short to spend much time on such a complicated subject although it seems eminently reasonable to conclude that mankind is changing in subtle ways all the time – that's evolution isn't it?

I almost added 'for heaven's sake'!

My investigation revealed that Richard Dawkins has also rubbished the theory which, in my book, is reason enough to conclude that 'genetic entropy' has a lot more going for it than the opinion of the professor of atheism.
