But creationist IDers say that the second law of thermodynamics makes natural evolution impossible!

I think most creationists have abandoned that line of argument.

Evolution is based upon the theory that death and mutation has ultimately resulted in the creation of man.

No thanks...

I’ll take Jesus my Lord, God and Savior over death and mutation 10,000 times in a row.

I put creme in my coffee this morning, and it changed colors...must be evolution....

Making your point is one thing; but you are borderline obsessed with this stuff.....seriously.....

If the young earthers ignore the part about 'closed system', ignoring that initial energy transfer comes from the sun.

I was under the impression that the second law of thermodynamics also spoke of a movement from order to chaos. From useful/organized energy to useless/random energy. Is that not an aspect of this theory?

I buy that faster cheetahs beget faster cheetahs. But the logical conclusion would also be that wildebeests and antelope type species develop claws and fangs to fend off their attackers.

It has to work both ways - right?

How’s the fundraiser going?

[MEGoody]

By viewing evolution as the motion of energy flows toward a stationary state (entropy). . .

LOL Gee, a brand new defintion for evolution. The author of this article begins with a faulty premise. The theory of evolution has nothing to do with 'energy flows'.

Good grief.

thanks for the laugh!

If the 2nd law were provable, then evolution would be disprovable.

I find the evolution of a highly complex organism like a cheetah to be a very poor example of entropy. Entropy would be enhanced more if cheetahs and their prey all were converted into trillions of bacteria.

Anyway the 2nd Law of thermodynamics applies to closed systems and is really irrelevant to life on earth, whose development is almost entirely dependent on enormous and relatively stable imports of energy from the sun. If one redrew the system boundaries to include the sun, then maybe one could talk about entropy vs. life. The linked article is basically pop pseudoscience.

That doesn’t explain why there are still monkeys

Don't reveal your ignorance, which is different from that of Creationist ID'ers.

Read up on the Three Laws and critique the article you posted. Then get back to me.

Cheers!
