The problem here is you are dealing with too many laypeople who do not realize that many words in the vernacular, even when dealing roughly with the same subject, have completely different specialized meanings when used by scientists...

Except that I'm anything but a layperson. I'm not sure how you've come to that conclusion from my posts. You might want to spend a lot more time with the evidence. The problem is not with my level of understanding, though I understand why it might be appealing to try to argue that way, but that we have a scientific disagreement. If you want to point to some area where I've had trouble with the scientific subject matter on these threads, please go ahead.

I was talking in a general way, with no *specific* poster in mind.

I apologize that you thought I was attempting to slight you, even in a backhanded fashion.

Cheers!

Explain how evolution is thermodynamically different from metabolism, growth, development, learning, photosynthesis. What specific chemical process involved in evolution violates thermodynamics?
