EM2,
That is a rather simple whitewashing of the problem. A further look into the problem reveals that simply adding energy into a system does not necessarily decrease entropy. In this case what we are really dealing with is information systems (genetic code). If you were to apply a flame to a CD disk it is safe to say that the increased energy also increases entropy. The amount of energy needed to create systems so complex as life requires a mechanism to direct that energy.

Science has yet to figure out what that mechanism is. That is why we are still studying genetics. As with most science the more we learn the more we find we don't know. Right now we are learning that RNA plays a much more sophisticated and important role then was ever imagined. Needless to say we don't know how or why. The riddle of life is more complex than it was 10, 20, 100 or 1000 years ago. In another 100 years people will view our understanding of genetics as being pretty elementary.

Science is fascinating and intriguing, but if you think that it will ever explain how we got here or why we are here you will be most likely be disappointed. Good luck just the same.

Best Regards,

Science has yet to figure out prove what that mechanism is.

Which is of course very different from claiming it's "impossible" therefore the first piece of empirical evidence for ID has been found so it's now a "scientific" theory to be included in high school science class. I'm glad critics of evolution like you exist and I hope you ensure that criticism of it is included in school. It keeps the evo know it alls from marching too far off the edge, but it's wrong to corrupt high school science classes with alternatives that have no Characteristics of Scientific Theories. Teach ID in another class.
