Abiogenesis and evolution do not violate the second law of thermodynamics. If you think so, you greatly misunderstand either one or the other or both.

It directly violates the second law, read it again. I will repeat what i said above, which clearly shows why evolution and the second law conflict.

nature disorders, it doesn't organize things (the fact that nature brings things toward disorder is another aspect of the Second Law of Thermodynamics) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_law_of_thermodynamics
More time will make things worse for the Darwinist, not better. How So?

What is different about the origin of the first life? You might say that the second law of thermodynamics doesn't apply continuously to living systems. After all, living things do grow and can get more ordered. Yes, they grow and get more ordered, but they still lose energy in the process of growth. The food that goes into a living system is not processed at 100% efficiency. So the seconds law applies to living systems as well.

No you didn't. A simple google search for a random snippet of your post:


I didn't copy and paste it word for word, i actually have the book on my bookshelf behind me :) I did type it out and read parts of it. Why wouldn't I? If i agree with it, I'm going to use it. Just how you should, instead of spewing out random blips of "information".....

Allow natural laws to work on a mountain for 100 years. Will you get an exact identical replica of ANY mountain in the world? Never. Throw confetti out of a plane, record the exact pattern it formed and then throw the confetti out again. Will it form the exact same pattern as last time? No. By your logic you just demonstrated that the every mountain in the world and every confetti pattern is intelligently designed, because it can't be reproduced through random processes in our experiments.


I wasn't explaining how making a replica is impossible. Here maybe this will help:

Human life = American Flag
Confetti out of plane = big bang

[[example 2]]
Drop a glass of milk, watch it shatter (big bang)... in billions of years will you find a little perfect glass of milk with little proteins inside that branch off into making little glasses of apple juice and orange juice?


Better now? Do you understand? Or are you going to continue to construe what was typed?

Life is just nonliving chemicals interacting in a way that we, humans, find meaningful. There's nothing objectively special or unique about the chemical interactions in your body.

Proof of this? Any references at all?

Fortunately we have 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 planets in just the observable universe, so the chances of life developing on just one of them don't seem so bad all of a sudden.

Have you ever thought that our creator or designer put those planets there to prove how unique we are?

There is a DVD called "The privleged Planet" that illustrates how minimal this chance is. Let me know what you think of it!

Microevolution is completely different from macroevolution.

Could you elaborate? Because i do believe in microevolution.

(1) 'Microbes-to-man evolution' to replace 'macroevolution'
(2) 'Fruit flies-to-fruit flies evolution' to replace 'microevolution'.

The second term really emphasizes, I think, that the creature you start with is the creature you end with.


If you ended up with something different than what you started with, do you still have the same creature? If you keep making tiny changes to a fruit fly over and over, at what point does it stop being a fruit fly? Such a point must exist, and at this point you've turned your "microevolutions" into a "macroevolution".

Macro is referring really to the Big Bang and everything that happens thereafter. It's a "Something from Nothing" (Without explaining where the Nothing was that Exploded outwardly.)

Yes it's still the same fruit fly. Just how african americans are humans.
You've got to be kidding me. Now you are trying to say there is only onetype of evolution? Wow.

Would be nice for you to actually rebuttal instead of just asking open-ended questions. That is a true sign of a weak debater.

Such a typical evolutionist thing to say, such a point MUST exist. As if it's the only answer or end sight for the situation.

I applaud you :mellow: and await more senseless questions rather-than factual argument. Even if you type out something from a book that you enjoy, at least it would be worthresponding too.

So you just opened the book and typed it out exactly word for word. How is that different from copy/pasting, aside from being more work?

That's great, but what was the point with natural laws not being able to create Mt. Rushmore, or confetti not making an american flag? If natural laws can't make any mountain and confetti can't make any pattern other than the one it randomly made, then what's so special about Mt Rushmore or the flag? Nothing.

Umm... any biology book? Which living process do you want to know about? Humans have a decent understanding of the chemistry involved in most functions of the body.

No, that would be kind of stupid. Why would our creator need to prove our uniqueness to us? And in such an obscure way?

No, that's not what macroevolution means at all. Evolution in general is not at all about how life started, it does not deal with "something from nothing" in the slightest. Evolution assumes that "something" already exists and is only concerned with how that "something" changes.

Very well, allow me to provide an example. Let's say you take a fruit fly and increase its size by 1%. You can easily find fruit flies that are 1% apart in size, so such a small change is certainly just microevolution (assuming the increased size is advantageous somehow). If you do the exact same thing 1000 times, you end up with a fruit fly that's roughly 63 meters long. That's about the width of a football field, give or take. Is that still a fruit fly?

If you can not understand that simple analogy with the second law of thermodynamics, I'm truly typing to an ignorant being who is incapable of responding with a sensible rebuttal. Your arguments are immature and amateur at best.

An evolutionist claiming that macro and micro are the same. WOW :o

I guess life doesn't really exist does it? We're all just star matter from thousands of light years away?


You astound me with your ignorance sir, do not reproduce, and please please please stay in the motherland.

I'll take this as a sign that you are only capable of copy/pasting the book and can't actually explain it or have any original thought.

You already demonstrated that you don't even know what evolution is at all and confuse it with origins of life, when the two concepts are completely separate and have nothing in common.
In reality there's no such thing as "macro" or "micro" evolution, it's all just "evolution". The terms macro and micro are used for our own benefit and apply to categories we made up to group creatures into logical units.

And I'll repeat again, you fundamentally misunderstand the second law of thermodynamics and the concept of entropy. You seem to be applying the anthropocentric concept of "chaos" to the physical concept of "entropy". Entropy is a very specific and definable physical concept, and the organization of biological systems in no way contradicts it.

The second law of thermodynamics absolutely applies to living systems. Luckily, there's no conflict.

If you can point out specifically and mathematically where you think the second law is being broken, I'd appreciate it.
