Evolution Vs. Second Law Of Thermodynamics

Páginas: 4 (987 palabras) Publicado: 29 de abril de 2012
I think that one of the reasons that the evolutionary theory isn’t true and violates the second law of thermodynamics is because this law states ¨that in a closed system, disorder grows and lessenergy is available for work¨. A good example of this is a battery; it breaks down as it works, and breaks down even when it is not working.
Evolution does the opposite: life is evolving from the simpleto the complex, and everywhere we look we see increasing order, not disorder. The key to the creationist's confusion here is the forgotten phrase in a closed system. ¨A closed system is one thatreceives no fresh inputs of energy from an outside source¨.
As for the earth, it is not a closed system. It receives an endless supply of energy from the sun, which fuels the life process and createsgrowing order.
If energy is not added into a system, the energy that remains in the system becomes less efficient while all the other system is in disorganized and chaos occurs. An example could be ahouse. If a house is not the persons living there are not taking care and cleaning up (add energy), natural processes will begin to make the house deteriorate (entropy occurs), wood begins to rot, pipesrust, etc. The structure will just begin to get more disorganized. It will just become a pile of rubble. One would be unable to distinguish it as a house. This is the idea of increasing entropy.This is the point at which the facts between the creationists and the evolutionists arises. The theory of evolution states that life on earth progresses from simple, to more complex organisms, and neverprogress into less complex organisms. It also states that as time passes, things become more systematic and entropy decreases. The Second Law of Thermodynamics tells us that if systems are left alone,the amount of disorder and entropy increases. This opposes the Theory of Evolution which says that microorganisms which have disorder, slowly evolved to form more complex life forms. The simple...
