Recently, we featured the now-published introduction to genetic theory at the Origin of Biological Information conference (Cornell 2011) by gene gun inventor and ID-friendly plant geneticist John Sanford (abstract and excerpt) . Here’s a vid of explaining “How Darwin Got It Wrong” in genetics:

Actually, Darwin didn’t know much about genetics, in the sense in which the term is used today. No one did in those days. And yes, Sanford is a creationist, but listen for yourself and judge.

A key difficulty with evolution theories based on Darwin (and make no mistake, that’s the majority*) is that such theories are based on an outdated view of how things work, but millions of people now make their living, in whole or in part, fronting such a view.

And we are not here talking about ridiculous stuff like the organized Darwin-in-the-schools lobby, legends in their own minds.

Just what we should do now is not for people who just can’t stand hearing a mob say bad things about them. If that is the worst you encounter, you will be doing well.

*See, for example, atheist philosopher Jerry Fodor on claims that “I’m not that kind of Darwinist any more.”

I really liked this interview on 100Huntley, with Dr. Sanford, as well,, Genetic Entropy - Dr. John Sanford - Evolution vs. Reality - video https://vimeo.com/35088933bornagain77
