I refer to spontaneous generation or abiogenisis. It is obviously impossible. Okay. On the other hand, since the theory of evolution doesn't require abiogenesis - it works just as well if we imagine God personally placing the first primitive critters on Earth - that's not much of a critique of evolution.
ThermodynamicsRefers to the principle of increasing chaos.
Not always and not everywhere, of course - order from disorder happens all the time. All you need is a bit of energy. Around here, we get it from the big, hot thing in the daytime sky.
Chaos is evident in the biosphere if you examine the extinction rate vs the emergence of new species.
I dunno. At the end of the day, here we are. ;)

This has to be the short view. The long view is not so rosy unless we hope for God. The other two answer make me suspect you hope, believe, and stuff like that in God.
The supposition that the first critters were placed here is a dodge for the Darwinist viewpoint and fits nicely in the creation story of just about every culture and belief system that I know of. So, should ID be taught in public schools? I say, nope.
