In physics, the Second Law of Thermodynamics, also known as the law of entropy, is clear that all complex systems are in a continual process of being reduced to less complexity. In nature, it is scientifically impossible for a less complex system, organic or inorganic, to move from the less to the more complex.

" mutations – long claimed by evolutionists to be the building blocks of evolutionary change – are now known to remove information from the genetic code. They never create higher, more complex information..."

Repeating falsehoods over and over doesn't make them true. It really would be nice if some of the creationists would pick up a text on thermodynamics occasionally or even one on biology rather than relying on what they heard from some guy on the state of the science in these fields.

I love when people (mis)quote science to disprove science. "Scientific thought is invalid, and I'll prove it with this scientific principle...."

Just love it....

That is not the 2nd law of thermodynamics. It's amazing how such myths prevail despite being so easy to look up if a person really cared about not spreading untruths.

In particular, it applies to the *net* entropy of a *closed* system. Open systems can increase in entropy and there are examples of it even outside of human interventions. Crystal formation is one.

Why should you be concered with observations in thermodynamics anyway? Isn't it easier just to declare everything an act of God and leave it at that? Makes for smaller science texts too.
