"There is nothing in the 2nd law about densities, is there?"

The differing densities and the gravitational field provide tabular order; you could apply the 2nd law to a set of encyclopaedias with equal relevance.

Next try the experiment with two beakers; one with miscible liquids, and the other with immiscible liquids. Describe your results. Keep trying to find a connection to the thermodynamics of an infinite system, while turning blue in the face.

Cute. You know about miscible liquids--puts you a step above most creationists. I don't know why you specified beakers--this was kitchen-observable science. You don't need beakers or a lab to observe order arising spontaneously out of disorder. Any middle school student can do this experiment and see the results.

Now: I did not claim this works with any two different liquids. I said oil and water. It works with mercury and benzene, too, in case you are confused. You go on to talk about "the thermodynamics of an infinite system". I have no idea what this means. I only post what we observe here on planet earth.

And: Please show us where miscible/immiscible liquids are mentioned in the 2nd law.
