Re: Dr. Sanford's book was easy reading

In any event I do hope science does finally quit shying away from the credible assault Sanford made, especially since it is mainly a series of quotes from dyed in the wool evolutionists - some quite recent by the way.
No argument that consists mainly of quotations from previous work is likely to be taken seriously by scientists. That's not how you do science.

Thus, Sanford totally fails to include what the chemical pollution and body burden of toxic substances has on the speed of the break down of modern human DNA.
He probably fails to include the effect of chemical pollution on modern human DNA because the effect is small. Scientists do study such things, you know. Chemicals cause only a small fraction of all mutations, and mutation rates seem to have changed little in recent years. Probably the biggest effect has been from the increasing age of human reproduction, which increases mutation rates substantially.
If there's actually something of substance in this book, could someone describe it? I haven't seen anything in this thread to suggest that it would be of interest.
