Can someone here tell me how the Second Law of Thermodynamics disproves Evolution?
Wednesday, April 18th, 2007This is from my answer to this question on Yahoo Answers after seeing a lot of nonsense posted:
IT SEEMS THAT there is a bit of a misunderstanding on the full implications of the 2nd Law: It is not just about heat flow, but also about complexity. Things in this particular universe do not tend to move toward increasing complexity, but instead tend to go the other way (entropy). It has been shown that our DNA, due to the cosmic rays of the sun and other problems, is losing alleles (parts), causing more health problems and defects. Please don’t confuse micro-evolution (which absolutely occurs) with MACRO-evolution, which has never been seen/proven/evidenced. This is why we do not have millions of transitional fossils that would confirm macro-evolution. Many adaptations (like better oxygen usage) are simply embedded in the DNA and are not used until needed.
The problem has always been (more…)
