Genetics.. let me try and get some authenticity behind this stuff. So I am quoting Dr John C. Sanford "Genetic Entropy" 3rd ed 2008.
Dr John Sanford a Cornell University Professor for more than 25 years.. trained graduate students and conducted genetic research.. has published over 80 scientific pubs and was granted over 30 patents. He invented the 'gene gun' and two other genetic processes.. Two enterprises came from his research..
pp140 "For decades biologists have argued on a philosophical level that the very special qualities of natural selection can essentially reverse the biological effects of the second law of thermodynamics. In this way, it has been argued, the degenerative effects of entropy in living systems can be negated, making life itself potentially immortal, However all of the analysis of this book contradicts that philosophical assumption. Mutational entropy appears to be so strong within large genomes that selection cannot reverse it. This makes eventual extinction of such genomes inevitable. I have termed the fundamental problem Genetic Entropy... derived from careful analysis of how selection really operates."
There's that word.. 'entropy' and the 'second law'. He quotes numerous well researched challengers to this idea but even their data in the end comes out the same.. even with extremely favourable assumptions. And then..
pp147 "Caution: The term "Shannon entropy" will be used by some to confuse the issue of genetic entropy. Shannon entropy is an unfortunate and misleading term which was coined to refer to certain statistical properties of potential information. It is a way to measure the "surprise value" of a letter within a string of letters. Any simple repeating pattern reduces a string's Shannon entropy value. A high Shannon information value can reflect either a randomized set of letters or a carefully written poem!"
Not only is Shannon information NOT semantic information but..
Shannon entropy is NOT thermodynamic entropy..?
This not what the 'secular education system' wants you to know..!!

2.1 The Big Picture
Just today I heard on CBS news how Mathew Martoma has just been sentenced to 9 years goal (jail) for insider trading to the tune of 9 million dollars but his boss S A Cohen is not charged with anything.. A commenter said that no one had been charged with any criminal activity over the 2008 financial crisis.. and this re.. Wall Street. "there's no right and wrong..".
A story on Al Jazeera revealed an insiders view of safety concerns with the Boeing 787.. Look I am an ex Pom (uk convicts transported to Australia were labelled POME ie Prisoner of Mother England so UK immigrants got to be called Poms) now Australian, but I would not dream of taking a cheep swipe at Boeing.. The 747 story is a fantastic chapter in all our aviation lives. I love those big jets. My company in Melbourne did Boeing work and eventually got taken over by Boeing well that's how it goes. But this story reveals something new going on.. a failure in 'average' morality and ethics. I always thought working for an aircraft company is the tops.. It is the cutting edge of engineering.. but the workers in an aircraft company like Boeing have got to represent the educated middle at least. The concerns were so significant an ex-engineer said that they would not fly on one..!! These are connected and they relate to what is happening in education?
If you learn at school your just another animal, there is no God to be ultimately accountable to when you die, life is just 'survival of the fittest'.. then not only was Hitler right, but even as a kid you have to make up your own rules about right and wrong. Good luck..! I say we are just beginning to reap what we have sown.. that's in the bible..!
So what else is on the table.. The rate of extinction of species a few years ago was described by a professional researcher as "terrifying".. our genome on average accumulates 100 errors per generation so we are seeing new genetic diseases and the higher prevalence of genetic disorders. Over consumption of limited resources and new strains of killer diseases like Ebola.. Gloomy stuff indeed.
We are witnessing a decline of biblical proportions.. that's not a pun.. because that's where it is described..!
