I don't think yuou understood what I was saying. Natural selection is not a mechanism that can convert energy into a usable form by organisms. These mechanisms are the photosynthetic system and the ATP Pump amongst several others. The only problem is, these mechanisms are constructed using energy that has already been converted by the same mechanisms in other cells. The ATP Pump is constructed using the energy from, you guessed it, other ATP Pumps. So you can apply all the raw energy you like to the system, it's not going to do any good without these mechanisms already in place, but you can't get these mechanisms in place without these mechanisms in place. Like I said, raw energy only increases entropy, so the "well it's an open system" argument doesn't work.
On a side note, it's kind of funny you reference South Park considering its creaors (Paker and Stone) in their own words "F***ing hate Atheists" lol.

Why do you continue to believe that the universe is only 6000 years old, which flies in the face of insurmountable scientific evidence in a huge range of disciplines that say this is a false hypothesis.
Huge range of disciplines huh? I hope you are not making the mistake of mixing up operational science with origins science, sounds like you are though. The universe doesn't come with an "I am xxxxx years old" tag, so of course the evidence requires interpretation. So is there a serious issue you want addressed or are you just "preaching" with loaded questions?
Okie dokie, not a problem, I apologize for being short as well. I will address the Information issue along with Mitochondrial Eve for DarkestAngel when I get some free time because they are going to take a bit more time to address. Have a good one.
