Creation and the laws of Thermodynamics: LTTE |
|
Dear Editor,
There was a recent letter printed in support of creationism. The writer (nameless here) claimed that the second law of thermodynamics supports creationism over evolution. However, said law applies only to a closed system; the earth is powered by the sun, so it can't be a closed system.

2. I'll sum up "intelligent design" for you |
|
I'll sum up "intelligent design" for you in three simple steps.
1. "You can't explain ." -- This may or may not be true.
2. "Since you can't explain , it must be un-explainable." -- This is probably not true, and it doesn't follow logically that we will never be able to explain .
3. "Which proves that god did it." -- This is not only bad logic, it's bad theology, known as 'the god of the gaps.' Every time we explain something, there is less territory left for god.

3. what the hell are they talking about |
|
the concept of entropy concerns the flow of heat, randomness, and energy changes
These people are destroying sceince and technology in this country
Sorry, but unless things change soon, the U.S. will be left in the dust for all major technological advances

6. What's the Third Law of Thermodynamics? |
|
That's the first question these bozos need to be asked when they trot out the lame Second Law of Thermodynamics argument. If they can't answer it, the STFU!
