I don't know where you are getting your information from but entropy is measurable in open systems too. In the 2LoT (ignore statistical mechanics) entropy is most readily visualized as the diffusion of heat from a 'hot' system to the cooler surroundings. This can be measured in both a closed and an open system.
I can't argue with you on your points (and don't really have the time to do the research to try). My posts were a layman's understanding and you are demonstrably a journeyman. It may yet be that you are incorrect... but I am not the man to prove it.
As I stated early on, whatever processes God uses to mold His creation are no threat to my faith--and far above my pay grade. Find proof that God isn't the author of life and we'll have another conversation...
I concede your points. Thank you for having an intelligent conversation... it was sorely lacking on this thread.
