You are a "goo to you" believer. A foolish unscientific
fantany.

What you cited above is all true. Have you ever considered

Oh no. Now he is entering the realm of fantasy.

Yes NS is real, but the effect of entropy on the
genome is continuously going on.

Please stop and consider! 

If there are various forces that will cause genetic 
degradation, can you see that implies there was 
a point in time when there was_no_degradation?

These help to prevent extinction. but entropy keeps marching on.
