The Second Law states that all physcial systems go from order to disorder

Before-and-After image of restored artwork overturns (Ol' Sparky's misunderstanding of) the Second Law of Thermodynamics!

ROFLOL....You've got to be kidding. Anyone that would compare the Second Law to restore artwork is an utter moron that has no clue what the Second Law means. Who doesn't understand the Second Law now?

The least you could have come up with is the silly sun example, which is completely unscientific but wouldn't have made you look like complete moron.

The Second Law states ALL physical systems are going from order to disorder, using up available energy, decaying and headed toward maximum entropy. That includes the earth and everyone on the earth.

The Second Law applies to all systems, open and closed and to every part of the universe.

Living species are only exempt from the Second Law temporarily because of created mechanisms for storing and converting energy. However, the Second Law would have wiped out life in its earliest forms if evolution had occurred since simple organisms could not withstand the Second Law.<P.
