On a molecular basis that is a fairly high bar to clear, keeps out the riff raff. ;)As a wise man once said, entropy is a beotch!

That’s correct. It is stochastic. Big difference.

But entropy is a double edged sword.
Live by the sword. Die by the sword.
Life is dependent upon increasing environmental entropy in order to maintain a local pocket of reduced entropy.

Evolution follows the laws of physics like everything else. It is therefore limited in the direction it can take.
So it’s governed by a law then....and, let me guess...laws evolve as well.....and don’t necessarily have a lawmaker either.....

“The “laws” are simply part of the fabric of the universe. There is no need for a lawmaker.”
By definition, a law requires a lawmaker. Try again.
Fabric of the Universe....sounds like Carl Sagan.....lol.....

By definition, a law requires a lawmaker. Try again. "a statement of an order or relation of phenomena that so far as is known is invariable under the given conditions b: a general relation proved or assumed to hold between mathematical or logical expressions"
Making up definitions is a liars game.

Making up definitions is a liars game. Then abandon evolutionary beliefs.

I looked up the defibiyion of “law” as it applied to science and there wasn’t any mention of “lawgiver”. Lying for God is never right.

Your facts, as it applies to evolutionary beliefs, are very ephemeral, an illusion as it is.

Screw you pal.
Why don’t you push your liberal secular agenda elsewhere.
I’m no liar. You can take your last statement and shove it.

I just found where you got your definition. Webster's:
6 a: a statement of an order or relation of phenomena that so far as is known is invariable under the given conditions b: a general relation proved or assumed to hold between mathematical or logical expressions
I see that you chose #6. Did you not see definition 1a?:1 a (1): a binding custom or practice of a community : a rule of conduct or action prescribed or formally recognized as binding or enforced by a controlling authority.
My guess is you chose to ignore that to call to bolster your argument... and then call *me* a liar. Putz.
