Ah the master of the ad hominem rears his ugly head.

I may have awakened this thread last March, but I see you’re not above keeping it alive with your vitriol.

And by the way, nice job ignoring the substance of the post you cited. You know, the part that makes you look like a fool...this part:

(From Sears and Zemansky): 100% conversion of heat into mechanical work is not possible by any form of engine. (p. 342) There is a tendency in nature to proceed toward a state of greater molecular disorder. This one-sidedness of nature produces irreversible processes. (p. 347)

But don’t let the facts get in the way of your demented fantasies.

As soon as you locate a biological process that requires perfect conversion of heat into mechanical action, ping me.

In the meantime, living systems chug along at somewhat less than 100 percent.

The thermodynamic argument is so blindingly stupid that (Creation Museum) Ken Ham’s website warns against it.
