But not spontaneously. Work must be done for that to be accomplished.
What is the mechanism that initiated and maintains the work?
Define 'work' and the context you are using it in.
“The Second Law of Thermodynamics, for application, requires the condition that the there exist a containment of energy within the system. The Earth, however, receives trillions of megajoules of energy from the Sun and other sources, and hence, the application of the Second Law requires careful consideration of this fact. Things can go from disorder to order, within a system (the Earth) when energy is input into the system.”
“...Things can go from disorder to order, within a system (the Earth) when energy is input into the system.”
That is the ‘tornado in a junkyard’ theory. Input of energy is not sufficient to create order out of chaos.
By that logic, then I should be able to explode a thermonuclear weapon over Detroit, and create San Francisco from the fireball.
Spontaneous or otherwise, energy cannot organize and “freeze” into useful objects or organisms without some LAW directing that formation. However, what force creates those guiding LAWS? And from whence came the primal energy? Energy requires a CREATIVE INTELLIGENCE to DIRECT its PROPER application, so to transform the energy into FORMED MATTER. EVERY ACTION MUST have a FIRST CAUSE.
Hence, metmom’s reply:
“But not spontaneously. Work must be done for that to be accomplished. What is the mechanism that initiated and maintains the work?”
PRECISLY!
