For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,...For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, ...so that THEY ARE WITHOUT EXCUSE: Col 1:16 / Rom.1:20

Nearing 0.4/Ne. T?

For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Romans 8:22

As the human race races towards 0.4/Ne. T, the opposite of
evolution is happening.....but if we began fully operational at Creation, then began degeneration sometime after, then the path towards 0.4/Ne. T is what we would, and do, see....

".... the value of a selection coefficient (impact on fitness by a
mutation) greatly impacts the decrease in fitness from mutation accumulation:

“It is now well established that
---mutations with small, but intermediate, deleterious effects cause the most cumulative damage to populations (Kimura, Gabriel, Charlesworth).
---Mutations with very large effects are eliminated efficiently by selection and have essentially no chance of fixation,
---whereas neutral mutations have no influence on individual fitness.

The diffusion theory developed by Lande (1994) suggests that the value of s that minimizes the time to extinction, that is, that does the most damage, is s* = 0.4/Ne. T”
