Science proves it!

I found this laughable attempt at refuting evolution based the second law of thermodynamics. At least I think it's the second, it's the one that says in a closed system, net entropy cannot decrease.

Put simply, something complex cannot arise from something 'uncomplex'.

I first came across this argument last year, whilst living in halls with a christian.

Firstly, I'm not sure this law is even relevant in this case.

However let's assume it is. The earth is not a closed system, so thermodynamics has nothing to say about it's net change in entropy.
Simple.

The troubling thing is that, firstly, anyone who knows basic thermal physics will see straight throught this argument. Secondly, the creator of this 'proof' must have known basic thermal physics.
So it's a blatant attempt to misinform those not educated in this area.
Creation 'scientists' sicken me.

I have heard creationist use that argument so many times its ridiculous. It's like they never realize how much the Sun contributes in terms of energy supply.

Hilarious argument. I love people who say things cannot gain in complexity and then point out that acorns do exactly this when planted.

It's even more hilarious that the "Link to Scientists" leads to Answers in Genesis.

Creation science is an oxymoron.
