OK, Discipler...
You say that evolutionism opposes the 2nd law of thermodynamics because all systems tend toward a lower energy state and that over time this will result in the 'heat death' of the universe into a chaotic organised absolute zero state.It is a fallacy to conclude that the processes of evolution are incorrect because of this broader principle. The above aspect of the 2nd law is not violated by the appearance of complex, energy containing chemical species - for example if an xray hits a solution and that energy is stored within the resulting molecular structure, albeit temporarily, as we know that eventually it will release that energy and breakdown into its previous components.
It is not a violation to for this energy to be stored within the structure of a molecule for any length of time, that is within the 'tendency' aspect of the law.This being said, what is it ABOUT this aspect of the 2nd law that supports your argument that the natural processes of physics and chemistry cannot have resulted in living systems ?
What is your alternative hypothesis ?
You can argue about the 2nd law till we're all blue in the face, but what IS it that you are trying to illustrate ?
You didnt answer me last time either...
:P
