More Creationist Idiocy
tga on Jun 28 2008 | Filed under: creationism
The lengths to which creationists go to ignore or twist reality never ceases to amaze me. A lot of creationists are just plain ignorant of science and one of their favourite false argument is to use the Second Law of Thermodynamics to “prove” that evolution is impossible. Most of them are just ignorant of what this law means and that it applies only to closed systems.
Well, this particular creationist numbnut who goes by the handle of awesomestnerd actually seems to understand this important point about closed versus opened systems, but yet he manages to overlook the presence of the sun!!!
One of the most basic laws in the universe is the Second Law of Thermodynamics. This states that as time goes by, entropy in an environment will increase. Evolution argues differently against a law that is accepted EVERYWHERE BY EVERYONE. Evolution says that we started out simple, and over time became more complex. That just isn’t possible: UNLESS there is a giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there were such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.
Awesomest indeed.
