The speed of light, stars, and YEC?

RE: The speed of light, stars, and YEC?
(December 9, 2011 at 3:08 am)stephensalias Wrote: These religion and science debates are fascinating to me. A poster above mentioned that our physical laws show no evidence of changing. Given that, and the law of entropy, how does any model of cosmology make sense? The chain of events that produced life is infinitely ordered. It is so ordered, in fact, that it produced a self ordering human race. Not only that, but the order can be seen even at microscopic levels. How does one account for this scientifically?

Given that the physical laws show no evidence of changing and the law of entropy, there's not really anything that renders life unable to form and propogate as it has on the Earth.

You might want to explain how this is supposed to be impossible. If you're trying the "2nd law of thermodynamics" arguement, you would be right, because the Earth's energy would bleed out into space until the surface reaches a nearly absolute zero temperature (or whatever the temperature of the surrounding space is). However, The earth is not a closed system. It receives a huge amount of energy from the sun and help from gravity, chemistry, cosmic rays, errant objects, and things of that nature that combine to allow a habitable biosphere on the surface of the earth. Even that's not guarenteed, however. (See: Venus and Mars.)

Thanks to entropy, however, this is only a temporary situation.
If today you can take a thing like evolution and make it a crime to teach in the public schools, tomorrow you can make it a crime to teach it in the private schools and next year you can make it a crime to teach it to the hustings or in the church. At the next session you may ban books and the newspapers...
Ignorance and fanaticism are ever busy and need feeding. Always feeding and gloating for more. Today it is the public school teachers; tomorrow the private. The next day the preachers and the lecturers, the magazines, the books, the newspapers. After a while, Your Honor, it is the setting of man against man and creed against creed until with flying banners and beating drums we are marching backward to the glorious ages of the sixteenth centry when bigots lighted fagots to burn the men who dared to bring any intelligence and enlightenment and culture to the human mind. ~Clarence Darrow, at the Scopes Monkey Trial, 1925

Politics is supposed to be the second-oldest profession. I have come to realize that it bears a very close resemblance to the first. ~Ronald Reagan
