Title: Evolution 4Entropy in physics gives a direction to the arrow of time that leads from things that are more ordered to things that are less ordered.
As an example, if we put an ice cube in a dish on the kitchen counter, it will first go from a solid with a definite form to an amorphous puddle. Then, in time, it will evaporate to form a dispersion of water molecules in the atmosphere. It never goes back the other way.
Even if we put the damp air in a freezer, we might get snowflakes, but we will never see the water molecules forming themselves back into a cube. This is illustrated in Figure EG0504a.
The evolutionists, on the other hand, postulate a primordial soup in which amino acids sought out each other to form the complex ribbons of DNA, which organized around itself the still more complex form of the cell, which then gathered itself into still more and more complex forms until it became us.
We know that dead animals evolve into microorganisms when they die, but it seems counterintuitive that microorganisms should evolve into human beings when the chemical principles that biology is based on all point in the other direction. This is illustrated in Figure EG0504b.
This is certainly not consistent with the notion of entropy embodied in the third law of thermodynamics. The evolutionists ask us to take, on faith, the notion that living things are exempt from the third law of thermodynamics. The notion that one should take that kind of an anti-entropic process on faith without any scientific justification is even less attractive than the creationists' faith in a prankster god who plays practical jokes on paleogeologists.
At least we can look around us and find examples of things like hurricanes and earthquakes that look like the jokes of a prankster god. We can't find examples of anti-entropic processes except in living things.
The evolutionists, if they want to be considered scientific, have a responsibility to make their beliefs seem a little less unreasonable and not so dependent on blind faith.
If we want to have a scientific description of how we evolved we will have to transcend the doctrinal debate between the Creationists and the Darwinians and start from scratch.
