Bullshit

Here was her original statement:
"Conversely an eternal god is thermodynamically implausible for two reasons. First it violates the second law of thermodynamics because entropy can never decrease in an isolated system and no process is 100% efficient. Secondly, the formation of intelligence is best explained as a thermodynamic process". https://atheistforums.org/post-1712719.html#pid1712719

Go ahead, defend that. OR tell her to drop this. Ball is in your court.

I just did. Are you deaf? Exactly how is this a response to what I said? Her latter statement is a clear example of an inductive argument. The key word here is "implausible," which, despite your earlier misrepresentation of the definition of the word in an argument with me has "improbable" as one of its definitions.

Oxford English Dictionary Wrote:implausible

1. Not worthy of applause; personally unacceptable. Obs.
2. Not having the appearance of truth, probability, or acceptability; not plausible.
