The Genomic Evidence for Creation: Information Theory, Genetic Entropy, and the Design of Life

In The Genomic Evidence for Creation, Dr. Alfred Basta explores one of the most debated questions in science: Does the genetic code support unguided evolution, or does it point to intelligent design?

Drawing from information theory, molecular biology, genetics, mathematics, and bioinformatics, this book examines DNA as an information-rich system and presents a creationist perspective on the origin and development of life. Readers are guided through topics including functional specified information, genetic entropy, mutation and natural selection, molecular clocks, comparative genomics, epigenetics, and the concept of created kinds (baraminology).

Rather than offering a purely philosophical discussion, Dr. Basta presents arguments grounded in scientific literature, mathematical analysis, and genomic research while evaluating the strengths and limitations of evolutionary models. The book also explores how recent discoveries in genetics and molecular biology are interpreted within a biblical young-earth creation framework.

Inside you’ll discover:

• The relationship between information theory and the genetic code
• Genetic entropy and long-term genome stability
• The mathematical limits of mutation and natural selection
• Molecular clocks and challenges in evolutionary chronology
• Comparative genomics, orphan genes, and genome function
• Epigenetics and biological adaptation
• Baraminology and the concept of created kinds
• A comprehensive examination of modern genomic evidence from a biblical worldview

Whether you are a Christian seeking scientific support for your faith, a student of genetics, an educator, or someone interested in the origins debate, The Genomic Evidence for Creation offers a detailed exploration of one of science’s most profound questions.

This work invites readers to examine the evidence, evaluate competing interpretations, and consider what the remarkable complexity and information contained within every living cell may reveal about the origin of life.
