So music theory is guessing how the song will sound?

There are more than one definition of theory and a failure to realize that is one of the reasons science types disparage the religion

In this case the poster is correct there are 3 LAWS of thermodynamics and evolution violates it provided there are no outside inputs to a closed system. If the universe is a system then it should degrade without outside inputs. There are few laws but Thermo has 3.

Evolutionists have to have more “faith” in their “religion” than Creationists do in theirs. Personally, I don’t believe that the earth formed on October 30, 4004 B.C. However, I do believe in the “young earth” theory. The main reason is from the scientific data I collected as a Geotechnical Engineer in Mississippi. Up in Madison County, you dig far enough you’ll get into Unweathered Yazoo Clay, which is bluish-green and contains many small seashells and other fossils. These fossils didn’t just “gradually” settle into the soil and ossify over millions of years..Many of the shells I got still weren’t even fossilized....something cataclysmic had to happen to preserve them. To preserve anything, you have to remove oxygen and sunlight to keep it from decomposing. That’s why we have such an extensive record of the Vesuvius Volcano, but very little if anything left from the millions of Buffalo slaughtered for fun in the 1800’s and left to rot.

Current estimations of earth age are made from analysis of long half-life radio isotopes like uranium. You could find unassailable proof those shell were deposited there in the last 2000 years, but that won't do anything to prove how old the Earth is, or disprove the radiometrics.

Could be because the buffalo bones were collected and ground into bone meal for fertilizer.

Where does evolution violate the laws of thermodynamics?

evolution teaches that everything that exists is the product of the random collision of atoms,

If that's the case, you would not bear any resemblance to your parents or relatives.

I have no problem with the idea of a creator making life that is pre-programmed to adapt to changing conditions.

Everything has a mathematical formula.

Where did that math come from?

Bill Nye is a loser. he is just what the left wants a mouth piece that has no answers. No Transitional fossils, no answers about the “big bang” theory. When this junk science is the drum beat for over 50 years it is no wonder that all the low brows are believing it.

Low brows, as in Neanderthals, as in missing links.

“But what does the theory of evolution teach us? The exact opposite, that the universe is headed toward increasing complexity and order.”

Believe whatever you wish on the topic, but this statement is nonsense. That evolution (or “order”) occurs in one small part of the overall universe does not violate any laws of thermodynamics over the entire universe - and does not represent “the universe headed toward increasing complexity and order”

Increasing disorder over the entire universe does not preclude certain subset areas from obtaining increasing order for some period of time.

“It turns out that creationists are the ones who believe in science”

Actually, creationists have so little Faith that they seek to rationalize what cannot be rationalized - the mystery of God.

Rom 1:20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

So the invisible things are clearly seen.   So they should
be as plain as the nose on your face or even something simple as your eyebrows.  Can you explain why you have eyebrows?  They have no visible use, they don’t keep rain or dust out of your eyes. Hair covering your face like apes like which we are supposed to have descended from would have protected your face better.  But the most interesting thing about eyebrows is their symmetry.  It’s almost like an artist put them there .  If they were an accident of evolution would they be perfectly symmetrical?

And looking at the hairline we see that it is a definite line where evolution would have given you a random, jagged line and yet it is a straight line .  And the eyebrows are a completely different kind of hair than that growing on your head. Eyebrows grow to a very short length, where the length of the hair on your head can drag the floor but are only separated by just a few inches of forehead.

Symmetry defines what we perceive as beauty, a beautiful woman loses her appeal with some parts of  her body are of different sizes. When we create something we incorporate symmetry.
We see symmetry throughout all nature, take the bee for example.  Even assuming that they could understand the concept of flight and assuming that he could force his body to produce wings, having perfectly symmetrical wings is essential to flight. One wing longer or shorter than than the other, one wing not even with the other on the body, will not result in flight. If evolution was true there would be birds with wings on their bellies, or feet, and there would be some with non symmetrical wings, animals with uneven legs.

We believe that this symmetry comes from a Great Artist Creator Whom we call choose to call God.  It is there in nature if you only chose to look for it,  the handywork of this Great Artist’s hand.  We believe that there is no such things as missing links, only the same strokes used by The Great Painter to create different animals, birds, flowers etc.  Open your eyes and you will see His brush strokes, even in your mirror at home.

Here’s what I don’t get about Christians (I’m one of a small bunch).

Many times throughout the Bible the concept of “A Thousand years is like a day and a day is like a thousand years” to God. How is it we as Christians are forced into believing the beginning of time is fixed with statements such as this.

If the Heavens and Earth were created in 6 days, yet the Bible clearly states that time is relative...how are we so stuck on this point? Wouldn’t the most correct answer seem to be that God created the Heavens and earth in a time period in which time didn’t yet exist as we know it?

Everything else seems to fall in place with this in mind, right?

its 3 am...my toddler woke me up... Hopefully my thinking isn’t too fragmented.
