The Second Law of Thermodynamics I can’t count the number of times that this law has been quoted to me by fundamentalists posing as engineering experts, most of whom couldn’t define thermodynamics if their life depended on it. To put it simply, the argument asserts that the second law of thermodynamics requires systems to increase in entropy over time. In other words, if left completely on their own, things decay, disintegrate, and become more random. So, evolution violates this law by proposing that life has ordered itself, actually becoming less random, all by itself. Creation, on the other hand, supports this law, because it begins with a state of ultimate order. The first refutation involves the poor definition given by creationists. The second law of thermodynamics actually states: "No process is possible in which the sole result is the transfer of energy from a cooler to a hotter body." One of the problems with this is that the idea that order does not come from disorder is actually a spurious addition and simplistic misapplication of the law. We see seemingly spontaneous order all the time – snowflakes, crystals, sand dunes, etc. So, the second law does not say what creationists claim that it says. If order cannot come from disorder, why does it keep happening? The other problem is that even if we grant them their definition, it would only hold true in a closed system. The earth is not a closed system. Huge amounts of energy are added to our earth every second of the day, in multiple forms, such as heat, light, and radiation. We are also affected by the forces of external gravity and momentum. In our universe, we find pockets of spontaneous order, but we also find vast tracts of disorder. If you sum the total of entropy in the universe, you find that it does indeed increase, just like the second law states. So, the second law of thermodynamics does not indicate a creator. This claim shows a complete lack of understanding, not only of the law that it cites, but also of the nature of evolution. https://app.box.com/s/uclytd91jd

JT now says he never said Cannabis would be legalized by July 1. What a lying POS!

a bit?

I am here to counter anyone who is here and wants to constantly demean and attack Trump on this forum. Trump is doing a heck of a good job. The only problem is that the left wing lying liberal media will not report on some of the good things that he has/is doing that are great for America. Sure Trump is not perfect but then again who here can say that they are perfect? No one here. Scheer should start now, not two weeks before the election. Maybe he would pick up more members to join him in his quest to become the PM of Canada, and get rid of this present day feminist and apology dictator that we have. If Scheer is a true conservative and would like to get elected start telling us that if elected he will abolish the GST. That would be a hell of a lot tax money that Canadians would be able to keep and save rather than give it to the tax man. I always thought that conservatives believed in more freedom, less government and less taxes. So far I have not seen that conservative who believed in those things and say so. Scheer could be that man if he wants too. Just saying.

So sorry...no can do. Canadian and Chinese mining companies (like Ivanhoe Mining Ltd) want to get their money's worth.

Everything I say has been linked to you numerous times. Your refusal to accept facts speaks volumes. I'm not sure if those volumes represent ignorance, obfuscation or just plain stupidity. How are you at understanding English?
