Anyone who tries to ‘defeat Darwin’ with Thermodynamics doesn’t understand the laws of thermodynamics. The Earth is not a closed system; it receives energy AND matter from outside the system, and as such the usual constrictions about entropy and energy conservation are thrown right out.

Four irrefutable arguments to evolution were presented.

Every evolutionist ultimately requires outside input, ie the big bang, implicitly affirming the laws of thermodynamics are true.

I think I’ll let these two speak for me.

“Of all the statements that have been made with respect to theories on the origin of life, the statement that the Second Law of Thermodynamics poses no problem for an evolutionary origin of life is the most absurd… The operation of natural processes on which the Second Law of Thermodynamics is based is alone sufficient, therefore, to preclude the spontaneous evolutionary origin of the immense biological order required for the origin of life.” Duane Gish, Ph.D. in biochemistry from University of California at Berkeley

“It is probably no exaggeration to claim that the laws of thermodynamics represent some of the best science we have today. While the utterances in some fields (such as astronomy) seem to change almost daily, the science of thermodynamics has been noteworthy for its stability. In many decades of careful observations, not a single departure from any of these laws has ever been noted.” Emmett Williams, Ph.D
