Hiya, Night_Spawn.

You've been trying to slide away from arguing about the 2nd law of thermodynamics in our e-mails...and now you want to argue it here? You said in your e-mail to me: Quote:

#2: Evolution is pretty much proven in everyone's eyes but the extremist Christians. Mainstream Christianity has accepted it as well, and you'll be hard-pressed to find any serious creation movement outside of the U.S. in the western world. |

Hi Spawn
Evidence for evolution: Changes in gene frequency can be observed in populations in the wild and can be experimentally manipulated in the lab. This is the basic definition of evolution and even most creationists will say, "oh sure that happens, but I meant real evolution", like it's something different. Regarding your web page, it is relevant because it shows us where you're coming from and how basic our replies should be. And anybody who uses the 2LoT as an argument against evolution automatically gets the rolled eyes and the disrespect that their lack of scientific knowledge warrants. Here's a good site for the basics on the 2LoT: <a href="http://riceinfo.rice.edu/armadillo/Sciacademy/riggins/thermo.htm" target="_blank">Riggins web page</a> |

Here's a prediction: He won't accept any evidence for evolution. As a response to our points, he'll either use an emotional plea (he's done it before), or dodge it completely and paste some different creationist garbage. He seems very confused, and is not likely to participate in any meaningful discussion.

Just wanted to make it clear about your opinion up there. sure we can talk about it here. Quote:
Here's a creation article about thermodynamics: <a href="http://www.aboundingjoy.com/2ndlaw-fs.html" target="_blank">2nd law of thermodynamics and evolution</a> It also has observations by scientists at that site on the subject. Quote:

If you're curious. I do believe in evolution to a certain degree, like I told Daggah in our e-mail war. I believe that we have evolved in certain ways, but I don't believe that we evolved from animals.....That's just too hard to believe. Quote:
I have been open-minded enough to come here, so why are you still making assumptions about my actions? |

Here's a creation article about thermodynamics:
2nd law of thermodynamics and evolution Yep, that one's right up there with "Big Daddy". You should print that baby up, and see if Jack Chick would like to illustrate it for you. He's good at drawing monkeys. |
