The second law of thermodynamics and evolution

[CapnAwesome]

Well the basic debunking is that creationists are misrepresenting or misunderstanding the second law of thermodynamics. They have to reinterpret entropy to give it a more broad explanation that isn't what is actually used for in the second law. Here is how entropy is defined in the second law:

The concept of entropy is fundamental to understanding the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy (or more specifically, increase in entropy) is defined as heat (in calories or Btu's) absorbed by a system, divided by the absolute temperature of the system at the time the heat is absorbed. Absolute temperature is the number of degrees above "absolute zero", the coldest temperature that can exist.

So that doesn't have anything to do with what creationists are claiming, which is basically that everything is breaking down and things can't get more complex as with evolution. That's nowhere in the second law and they are changing definitions just to fit their agenda. You can read more here:
