discipler you fucking idiot! you've got the 2nd law of thermodynamics ALL WRONG!
LISTEN:::
"The tension between Evolution and Entropy (The Second Law of Thermodynamics). A proven scientific law which states that the universe is breaking down... decaying, if you will. This flies in the face of the macro evolutionary model. "
ok first, the law is actually the relation between ENTHALPY and ENTROPY, and applying this to evolution is simply an analogy used by many lecturers to give first year biologists an idea that there is a constant battle between the need to evolve fast enough to adapt to minute changes in environmental circumstance, whilst also preventing any evolution from becoming chaotic and causing the organism to evolve beyond its environment such that it loses it's niche and the enviroment provides no support.
second, recent studies and very complex mathematical modelling and analysis have shown that the universe is, in fact, expanding, not decaying (yet - although they expect this to start happening in hundereds of billions of years from now). Not that this has any bearing whatsoever on evolution. Observe the number of bacteria and other organisms that start to grow AND MULTIPLY on a dead or dying body, for instance. In fact decay and detrimental circumstance are precisely the environmentally stressful conditions that SELECT FOR those organisms that have undergone evolution. eg. MRSA. lots of antibiotic overuse. bad for the bacteria. only those that have developed resistance survive.
