Don't zygotes require external energy in order to grow? If a pregnant woman stops eating, a linebacker is unlikely to show up in 22 years. We start dying the moment we begin to live, since all cells eventually break down. The 2LoTD is a universal law, isn't it? Doesn't that mean it works under any circumstance, as far as we have been able to observe? Or does evolution trump the laws of the universe? How does it not pertain to cells, if it pertains to everything else that cells make up?
Not that your or anyone else's quotes aren't on the up-and-up, but Wikipedia isn't original source material, since anyone can edit at will.
Of course the zygote receives energy from its mother, that is exactly my point. I never said that evolution is not subject to the 2LoT, I stated that it does not break the 2Lot because the earth is continually receiving energy from the sun.
I'm not sure where you got that idea, but we do not start dying as soon as we are born. Even though we have individual cells dying we receive energy indirectly from the sun which enable us to increase our cell number over all until we reach adulthood. We hit a stasis point where the number of cells dying equals the number created until mid adulthood. The replacement of cells is not equivalent to dying.

I used Wiki because I wanted to give the poster a source other than creationist sites that is easily understood. Had I given him links to other more technical sites he would not have even attempted to read them. I also wanted him to see how to reference his quotes.
