Good God, have you not been made aware of the simple refutation to your 2nd Law assertion? I think it's on this thread alone about 10 times.

For your assertion to be true, the earth would have to have no energy input. Your assertion denies the existence of the sun, volcanoes, thermal vents, radiation, plate tectonics, tidal action, etc.

Heck, even Answers in Genesis (a leading creationist group) tells fellow creationists to stop using this (non) argument:

"This law says that the entropy (‘disorder’) of the Universe increases over time, and some have thought that this was the result of the Curse. However, disorder isn’t always harmful. An obvious example is digestion, breaking down large complex food molecules into their simple building blocks. Another is friction, which turns ordered mechanical energy into disordered heat—otherwise Adam and Eve would have slipped as they walked with God in Eden! A less obvious example to laymen might be the sun heating the Earth—to a physical chemist, heat transfer from a hot object to a cold one is the classic case of the Second Law in action. Also, breathing is based on another classic Second Law process, gas moving from a high pressure to low pressure. Finally, all beneficial processes in the world, including the development from embryo to adult, increase the overall disorder of the universe, showing that the Second Law is not inherently a curse."

Yes, they deny it in a strange way, I'll agree, but nonetheless, they tell you to stop using it. Among many others we see here from time to time. Check it out and save everyone some time:

It's like the democrats and their talking points. I saw Mario Cuomo on TV last night, saying that the slow economy is because of Bush's earlier tax cut. No sane economist would make such a linkage, but it's a convenient mantra, so the democrats use it whenever possible. Refuting it makes no difference. Some of them are inherently dishonest, but I suspect that most of them just don't understand economics. It's an unfortunate fact of human nature that we just have to accept that some bogus claims will never die. But I guess you gotta keep posting the rebuttal (for all the good it will do).

What makes you think I blindly follow "creationists"..just because I'm not a darwinite. Nothing in nature creates difference the way evolutionists claim species evolve.
Observation and common sense show me that...not some prejudicial category of your belief system.
