Note how vigorously this law works against the notion that life somehow arose from random events over time. The notion: Given unlimited time plus a trillion typewriting tamarind monkeys, Psalm 139 (KJV) will inevitably result. But since it takes more energy to assemble a thing than to disassemble it, time and chance can't monkeydance. For every simian keystroke there's a weightier anti-keystroke: the 2nd Law means the monkey system is un-typing faster (if even by grace notes) than it types. The life which improbably self-assembled, survived, self-replicated then bulged from the Primordial Pool had oceans more odds against it than for it, more anti-chance than chance, unless... God. | ||||||

Hi, Flinkywood! Don't tell me you live in Hollywood and drive a Fleetwood Cadillac :-) That's too much for an Arkansas rube like me to digest in one day! Terrific post, by the way. Bob Newhart did a funny skit about the hilarious theory that an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters would eventually be able to write all the world's great books. Finally one day Newhart came upon a monkey who had written something intelligible on his typewriter. Newhart looked over the monkey's shoulder and began to read what the monkey had typed on the page: "To be or not to be, that is the begormenblott." Well, evolution may start out looking like an intelligent and rational way of explaining things, but it quickly runs into its begormenblott too! --Hank | ||||||

Hank, I live near Hollywood, and until recently drove a Subaru Brat dubbed "Sir Booboo" by my wife. Flinky is our dog. Though I don't buy evolution, I also don't buy creation "science" because it's clearly un-scientific. Flood science is also a misnomer. That animals of icreasing comlexity and similarity are sorted uniformly in age contemporaneous strata worldwide is hard to square with a 6k-yr-old earth plus flood. Nevertheless, Jesus quoted scripture, so I rest assured on God's having created the heavens and the earth, and I'll take the flood on faith. How He did it all and how long it took Him is a mystery I hope to understand in heaven. Good science heads towards God, not away. |

Dear flinkywood, I don't speak Dog but you obviously can write and read Human, so please pass on to your master my agreement that good science indeed points to God but that theory, such as the evolutionary one, being taught as science and widely accepted as being "scientific," points away from and denies God, points down not up, deceives not instructs. A cordial woof-woof bow-wow to you! --Hank | ||||||

Hank, my dog is smart and would likely agree, though I don't believe he has an opinion on the matter. Colin (my humanoid handle). | ||||||
