Right... and if you read the thread, I showed you with just 1 example, how you don't have billions of years on this planet to accomplish what you believe happened.

If you don't want to do math, explain how evolution can work with the second law of thermodynamics?

It states everything breaks down over time... Evolution does the opposite.

Please explain
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 6853586


"The second law is a postulate of thermodynamics, but it can be understood and proven using the underlying quantum statistical mechanics. It is an expression of the fact that over time, differences in temperature, pressure, and chemical potential decrease in an isolated physical system, leading eventually to a state of thermodynamic equilibrium."

A living organism is not an isolated system.
 Quoting: John Kimble

The second law of thermodynamics implies that all things in nature go from a more ordered state towards chaos or heat. Life however represents extreme order.

You talk about isolated physical systems. The idea here is that one "sub-system" can become more ordered, as long as the total system becomes more chaotic.

Does it make sense to you that a game of roulette can have the outcome red one million times in a row, as long as as somewhere else, there is total chaos? A similar argument is given for the evolution of life on earth. Due to the sun, the total entropy is still heading in the right direction, despite the increased order on earth.
