Geneticist John Sanford is also the author of Genetic Entropy: and one of the editors of Biological Information: New Perspectives: Proceedings of a Symposium Held May 31 Through June 3, 2011 at Cornell University
Note: In a distinctly unsavoury move, devout Darwinians managed to get Biological Information dropped by Springer. It is all the more valuable to read for that reason.
Nick Matzke famously got the publishing company Springer to suppress the publication of the papers of a conference held at Cornell. See here. He did this without having seen, much less read, any of the papers. Obviously, his motivation could not have been the content of the papers. He was motivated by the mere fact that several of the conference participants were well-known ID proponents. More.

John Sanford: Accepting Darwinism’s collapse is a matter of scientific integrity
A peek at Mike Behe’s new book Darwin Devolves We’re told that the basic thesis is, The First Rule of Adaptive Evolution: Break or blunt any functional gene whose loss would increase the number of offspring.

Three new studies “shake up” study of human migrants to North America We used to think the picture was pretty simple but not any more
The dream book would be one co-authored by both Sanford and Behe.
Their work intersects on many levels. But overall, Sanford is more ‘big picture’ oriented whereas Behe tends to get into the fine molecular details of what is going on.
Yet both come to the same general conclusion which is, basically, “it’s down not up”, i.e. devolution.
Biological Information only $109 on Amazon. Let me know when the e-book comes out.
aarceng, Dr. Paul Giem did a chapter by chapter review of the book here:
Here is the entire book:
And here it is in a chapter by chapter format
One of my favorite chapters out of many favorites,,,
And for a bonus, here is link to articles by Dr. Sanford
Sanford’s book is a coldly sobering antidote to the manically surreal optimism of the “fitness always increases” variety.
The upshot, neo-Darwinism is as probable as a flat earth.
