Foundations

I am currently reading the book Genetic Entropy & The Mystery of the Human Genome by Dr. J. C. Sanford. It is a book about Dr. Sanford's findings on the core of genetics and why the current evolution-based theory is erreneous. In the first parts of the book, the reader is introduced to what the Primary Axiom (Dr. Sanford's nickname for the evolution-based theories) actually requires of genetics, and what genetics actually produces. It is hard to get a complete set of instructions (the genome) to be copied by the "scribes" exactly letter by letter (genetic reproduction), so what happens is an error (mutation) in the form of cutting out, duplication, or replacement. This is a basis for all genetic thinking, and all believe it, however, the paths diverge after this. The Primary Axiom calls for more beneficial instructions than harmful ones, enough to create new data, or genetic information. The problem with this is that observations record a loss of information. So the map for the book is laid out by this type of pattern. As someone who is curious about genetics and what it takes exactly to make evolution work, and why it doesn't have concrete proof, I chose to read this book. The author loaded the book with plenty of easy to understand metaphors and uses simple terminology so that any layman can read it and enjoy it. He draws certain issues with genetic ebolution to the limelight, which is why he apologized ahead of time for those (evolutionists) he may upset or offend, and for that reason, I will use this book for future reference in helping me to explain why I believe the things I do if I am ever confronted. I found that using this book for double purpose (self-enrichment and reading requirement) will allow me to analyze the book more carefully and figure out a way to share what the data says and not what people think happened. The book is on a very controversial topic, so I'd expect many to go on offense once something is read that makes evolution a little harder to believe. So if anyone decides to read it, I recommend keeping anger and bias out of it until the end and then deciding if the information is good or not. So far, this book has shown me the basic theories on how evolution can operate on genetics, and what genetics has been observed to do, and yes, it does include why creation (intelligent design) should be taken seriously, and not simply treated as a religion.
