Well said. My Thermo teacher started out as a classic physics guy and moved over - he explained the subject better than anyone I have ever heard do it. Too bad he is dead now he would love to take a shot at this guy.

I believe that most people have a hard time understanding the time line. They get hung up on 7 days or 7 billion years. The sun has been around long enough to deposit an unbelievable amount of energy on Earth (1 Kw/square meter average. Think about that in terms of 1000's of years.

By this guys logic should we be running out of stuff to make new people with? But the population on earth continues to grow?

Well, we DO continually re-cycle the biomass.

HMmmm... I wonder where all this biomass came from to begin with?

Gravel, sand and dust don't seem to be too edible.

This statement shows your misunderstanding for physics. It is impossible to run out of "stuff." Mater can neither be created or destroyed.
