==Genetic entropy==
+
The '''genetic entropy''' hypothesis by Cornell University Professor Dr [[John Sanford]] on eroding [[genomes]] of all living organisms due to [[mutations]] inherited from one generation to the next is declared to be one of the major challenges to [[evolutionary theory]]. The central part of Sanford’s argument is that mutations, represented by [[spelling mistakes in DNA]], are accumulating so quickly in some creatures (and particularly in people) that [[natural selection]] cannot stop the ''functional degradation'' of the genome, let alone drive an evolutionary process that could lead for example, from apes into people.<ref>{{cite web
