This was copied from GarySpFc post #117. How is it you comment that "the Earth is absolutely positively NOT a closed system." as if you are bringing new information that was left out of the post #117?
Because the author of the piece forgot to consider that the Earth is not a closed system at the specific point when he argued the water can't get out of the bottom of the valley ever again without Intelligent Design. Unless, that is, you're saying the Sun and all the other stars in the universe can't operate except by continuous intelligent intervention.
