...However if we start with the basic assumption that the original humans were created perfectly, then perhaps by comparing original DNA (or as close as we can get) to our own DNA, we can find out what negative mutations have occurred and perhaps even locate patterns to it. Regardless, that is not something that will happen without a major paradigm shift in the research community. 
> -Much better than Hovind's reply. I don't agree overall; skeletal progression of horse fossils, and even man (without the "missing link") is pretty strong evidence that we descended from progressive forms. Contradiction to your general thesis here (started fully formed, then deteriorated) is geological evidence that irrefutably shows about 1Bn (correct me dhw) of bacterial life with nothing more complex appearing. (Sudden jump to multicellular... )-The story of life is irrefutably one of simple to more complex. Even if all of today's current phyla existed at the Cambrian, fact still is that it was an uphill battle to get to the total amount of life that existed at the Cambrian...-> The utility of a creator, even in this modern age, is the same as it has always been, to help focus your thoughts into a profitable and productive action instead of wasting it chasing misguided ideals. Just my two cents at any rate-For this last part, I've never needed more than myself.
