Re: Mortality
Faith writes:
There should be plenty of evidence for this gradual deterioration in our physical health from generation to generation. It should be recognizable in the genome. I believe it's certainly recognizable in the increase in diseases -- I understand that the incidence of cancer for instance has increased dramatically over the last hundred years.
There is an increase in diseases? What does NIH say about that?
Perhaps there is an increase in cancer because we've found ways of surviving other diseases/ailments....more people are living longer....cancer becomes more prevalent by default.

Re: Both perfection and destruction
Faith writes:
We have an apparent implicit perfection and we have the impression that something has twisted and deformed that original perfection.
Apparent inplicit perfection? What extra-Biblical evidence is there that perfection existed sometime in the past?
I agree that there is evidence that humans are becoming less fit to survive outside of the modern society. Those very medical advances that are keeping us from dying young, are allowing us to pass on the genes that would have been lost to the human gene pool due to natural selection. Childhood diabetes, hemophilia and other heriditary diseases are becoming more prevalent. Additionally, susceptibility to disease is somewhat an inherited trait. That susceptibility is passed on the the following generations.
This is just an observation, not a suggestion that we allow children to die so we can improve the gene pool.

The Darwin Awards are given under false pretenses...Most of the awardees were already old enough to have children
