Sorry, I don't see what this has to do with evolution.
It was in reference to applicability in closed systems - regardless, there must be an answer, it wasn't a trick question. I really don't have the background and it strikes me that if energy can be irretrieveably lost due to friction and heat, even in a closed system, then there is at least a modicum of possibility in alternate theories to the theories being put out.
No need to get too defensive, I'm sure not the person to disprove any of these threories, I just soak up info as it comes to help me formulate my own opinions.

I suppose there is, but I don't know it. I will note, however, that the earth is not a closed system.
Perhaps the superhero to ask about your questions would be WonderWarthog (the hog of steel); see his posts to me on this thread.
I'm also pinging Physicist on this. Perhaps he can shed some light (or heat. What the hell, they're both energy).
