Air is a gas composed approximately of 79% nitrogen N2, 20%Oxygen O2, trace amounts of Argon Ar, and varying amounts of warter H2O. The behavior of these molecules in a large conglomeration such as a laboratory flask or the Earth's Atmosphere can be accounted by the following laws of physics.

The laws of quantum physics determine the internal energy states of individual air molecules.
van der Walls forces govern the interaction between individual air molecules.
Maxwell's dynamic distribution describes the velocity distribution of air molecules at a given temperature.
Thermodynamics describes the transfer of energy between large quantities of air.

How then do we account for the existence of cyclonic weather phenomena such as hurricanes and tornadoes? There is nothing in these basic laws of physics that can account for such phenomena, but they are very common. Therefore the sensible solution is to assume that an anthapmorphic supernatural deity is responsible for all hurricanes and tornadoes. Since this systems never cross the equator and spin in opposite directions in the northern and southern hemispheres this lends credence to the theory that certain parts of gas physics cannot be explained without resorting to the supernatural.

Interesting! It also suggests that there are two supernatural entities at work: One for the northern hemisphere & his/her opposite governing the southern hemisphere.

I wonder which one is the good entity & which is the evil one? :-)

Some creationists do indeed cite the Second Law of Thermodynamics in a way that clearly forbids the formation of a large and structured storm system in the Gulf out of a disordered mass of hot air off of the African coast. And you can't tell them they've got it wrong, either.

You may be on to something here. First of all, as I am given to understand, you are correct in that all attempts to construct theories explaining the formation and evolution of tornados and hurricanes have thus far failed. Secondly, the prophet in the book of Amos asserts that, "God creates the wind." The verb is the same used in Genesis 1, which many creationists claim denotes creation ex nihilo ("out of nothing," i.e. divine, supernatural creation).

Now that you've pointed this out, evolution opponents should expand their objections to cover meteorology. Strangely, though, they may not. By the same token I have previously pointed to the many biblical passages asserting that God is intimately, immediately and actively involved in the creation of idividual human bodies in the womb -- creating each generation (of Israel), forming us in the womb, shaping our inward parts, knitting us together of bone and sinew, etc. It's not like religiously motivated anti-evolutionists are unaware of these verses; they are the same often quoted in support of the pro-life position. Yet I have been completely unsuccessful in motivating anti-evolutionists to move against naturalistic/atheistic/dogmatic presentations of human embryology in textbooks.

You are correct, you have to add other basic knowledge, like mechanics. Then you get the navier-stokes equations. Nothing strange with this. Do you have a specific question?
