creates a process that defies the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics

I guess you didn't get the memo. The leading creationists have said not to use this gross misapplication of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to attack abiogenesis and evolution anymore.

...I guess you didn't get the memo...

I've read the objections - I just don't understand them. Other than there is a desire for one side to remove a fatal argument from the table. Just because a system is 'open' doesn't negate the underlying principles of the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Unless there is some 'high quality' adder to the 'open system' (e.g., Intelligence), the 'open system' is going to 'degrade' (produce less useful mechanical energy) faster than a 'closed system'. That is 'undirected solar energy', or cosmic rays, will break the system down - not build it up...
