You mean physical laws like Newton's second law of thermodynamics that states that ALL THINGS will naturally move to a state of less energy and less order unless acted upon by specifically applied energy?

Firstly, the Second Law of Thermodynamics is not even close to what you stated above. The way you stated it actually contradicts the First law. Also, the Second Law makes no reference to a strange, nebulous concept of "specifically applied energy."

The Second Law simply states that isolated systems increase in entropy over time. If you think you have a novel new argument for why the Second Law contradicts mainstream biology, please present it. Keep in mind that even Answers in Genesis, everyone's favorite biblical literalist site, acknowledges that arguments against evolution from the 2nd Law have no merit.

Second, There's no such thing as "Newton's second law of thermodynamics," and the fact that you called it this makes me even more confident that you are way out of your league. Carnot published "Reflections on the Motive Power of Fire" in 1824. Newton died about a hundred years prior to that.

So what if I missed the exact wording? Thing do NOT decrease in entropy over time naturally. No explosion has ever produced a laptop computer. No tornado has ever assembled a Rolls Royce. And no random combination of molecules has ever produced life. What is the minimum number of amino acid molecules required to make up the simlest virus? A few thousand? I really have no idea but for the sake of argument lets call it 1000. The number of total possible combinations is 1000! which equates to 4.023872e+2567. Do the math. Even if you could try a trillion, trillion combinations per second, your chances of coming up with a plausable, self replicating, stable virus are mathmatically ZERO even if you considered the universe a billion times older than the current claims.

The fact that you strain on a gnat while swallowing a whale tells me that you are so dedicated to making sure that your personal BELIEFS are impressed on everyone cloud your judgement to the facts that evolution CANNOT and WILL NOT ever be proven. If you had half as much belief in God as you do evolution, we would not be having this discussion.
