Evolution and the second law of thermodynamics?
I was talking to a creationist the other day about why the second law of thermodynamics does not disprove evolution. He claimed: "If the second law of thermodynamics did not apply to earth then merely sunning ourselves would keep us from failing health. No food, water, rest or any other effort would be required. All we would have to do is bath ourselves in sunlight." He also claims: "DNA breaks down in accordance with the second law of thermodynamics when exposed to raw sunlight....

is about entropy. A) Describe the first law in your own words. B) Describe the second law in your own words. C) These two laws can be used to explain why it is important to conserve the energy resources on the planet. use your knowledge of the two laws...

For the first law: energy can be transferred or changed, but not created or destroyed. This means that...

Does evolution violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
Evolutionists state that "it only applies to closed systems, and biological creatures are open systems, so it doesn't affect evolution." The fact is that the Second Law applies to all systems, open or closed, and to all actions and chemical...

Does evolution violate the second law of thermodynamics (w/ elaboration)?
Before you fire off the old chestnut that life is not a closed system, and therefore the second law is no obstruction to evolution (a point that may in fact very well completely destroy the (even older) creationist objection in my title), I would like...
Mark as irrelevant UndoAnswer:
The laws of thermodynamics deal strictly with the dynamics of energy. (Thermo = heat.) So here are the...

Does the second law of Thermodynamics prove God?
Entropy is a measure of disorder, dS studied in thermodynamics The second law of thermodynamics mentions the Universe (a closed system) can never evolve from disorder to order, only from order to disorder If this is so, if the Universe never naturally...
Mark as irrelevant UndoAnswer:
No... The statement for any closed system is for the system AS A WHOLE... That doesn't include sub systems...

In a situation involving radiation, how is the second law of thermodynamics obeyed?
One way to state the second law of thermodynamics is "no process is possible in which the sole result is the absorption of heat from a reservoir and its complete conversion into work." Let's say there are two initially stationary objects floating...

Heat IS the kinetic energy of the constituent atoms of an object not kinetic energy of the object itself...

Does the Poincare recurrence theorem contradict the second law of thermodynamics?
The second law of thermodynamics states that entropy never decreases in an isolated system. The Poincare recurrence theorem states that any closed system will return to its original state after a certain amount of time. Poincaré recurrence theorem Second...

No. The second law of thermodynamics does not absolutely state that the entropy of a finite system cannot...

Obviously both types of system are impossible. Read the question details. Please, no more answers about how these systems are non-physical. We all know that. Charlatans frequently describe systems that violate the second law of thermodynamics, but...

Yes, the statement "A phenomenon that violates the second law of thermodynamics can always be used...
