The [[England|English]] [[Anthropology|anthropologist]] Edward Dutton indicates that religious people are genetically disposed to suffer less depression.<ref>[Why are Conservative Girls So Attractive and Liberal Girls So Ugly?] by Edward Dutton</ref> Atheists are more likely to suffer depression (see: [[Atheism and depression]] and [[Atheism and suicide]]).

The [[genetic entropy]] theory by Cornell University Professor Dr. [[John C. Sanford|John Sanford]] on eroding [[genome]]s of all living organisms due to [[mutations]] inherited from one generation to the next is declared to be one of the major challenges to [[Evolution|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

Sanford's book ''Genetic Entropy and the Mystery of the Genome'' explains why human DNA is inexorably deteriorating at an alarming rate, thus cannot be millions of years old.<ref>[http://creation.com/john-sanford John Sanford - bio] at [[Creation Ministries International]]</ref>
