The Entropy Of A Closed System

Another profound law of science is the entropy of physics which

states that the availability of the energy of the system or process for

the performance of work is reduced; not stabilized, nor increased.

Energy runs down or wears out and is depleted from the system. This law

about thermodynamics, the entropy of a closed system, can never be

halted nor decreased. It's strongest change, or inclination, is to tend

to deplete at an increased level of measure. Or, simply stated, the

amount of energy needed for a specific work will be greater than the

work so that entropy results in lost energy. The greater the work need

will result in greater the energy lost.

"Thermodynamis is a physical theory of great

generality impinging on practically every phase of

human experience. It may be called the description of the behaviour of

matter in equalibrium and of its changes from one equalibrium state to

another.

Thermodynamics operates with two master concepts or

constructs and two great principles. The concepts are energy and

entropy, and the principles are the so-called first and second laws of

thermodynamics...."04

Entropy is the irreversible tendancy of a system,

including the universe, toward increasing disorder.

It is one of the many fathers/supporters of evolution such as Sir

Julian Huxley that promotes a continual increase of order, of

organization, of size, and of complexity. Here, expressed is the

evidences of two completely opposite principles: the principles of

entropy through the two laws of thermodynamics and proponents of the

principles of evolution.

It seems obviously axiomatic that both cannot possibly

be true. The possibilty exists that entropy could decrease in

an open system where local increases in organization can be expressed

for a time. The whole of existance cannot be claimed as an open system

that could temporarily evolve by evolutionary standards and then

regress by the dictates of thermodynamics.

The crux of the matter is the attempts of supposed evolutionists to

attribute environmental change to temporary influences as though they

could be assigned the result of evolution; to suppose that this became

such because of it's inherent evolutionary makeup rather than the

obvious result of natural reaction to environmental influences.

the dictate of evolution is that "The whole of reality is evolution"04,

"04, a universal law explaining the developement of species in biology,

elements in chemistry, and suns in astronomy.

There remains the gross contradiction between the theory of

evolution and the second law of thermodynamics. This law plainly

insists that there is a universal tendancy towards decay and disorder,

not growth and developement.

The God centered view of creation is wholly supported by the

testimony of the author of creation at Psalm 102:25-26: "Of old hast

thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heaven are the work of

thy hands.

They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them

shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and

they shall be changed." Isaiah 51:6 has: "Lift up your eyes to the

heavens, and look upon the earth beneath: for the heavens shall vanish

away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment and they

that dwell therein shall die in like manner: but my salvation shall be

forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished." Romans 8:20 to

22 has:

"For the creation was made subject to vanity....For we know

that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until

now." "For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man is as the

flower of grass. The grass withereth and the flower thereof falleth

away (I Peter 1:24). "All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and

all turn to dust again (Eccles. 3:20). "Heaven and earth shall pass

away" (Matt. 24:35).

The empirical law of decay is attested to by Scripture and ignored by

evolution.

Yet the obvious cannot be ignored forever. Science can prove

all testings to be subject to the second law of thermodynamics but is

unable to provide the reason for it's control.

The Biblical explanation is expressive

and compounding: Genesis 1:31 explains: "God saw

everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good." It was as

perfect as perfect could be.

It is not now, but "was" very good. What happened

to change that evaluation was the action of a "curse" as the

reward for sin. God, after the rejection of man to his supervision of

existance, implemented these laws of thermodynamics. Revelation 21:4

promises a later change of these influences and verse 22:3 clinches:

"there shall be no more curse (the curse is fully described at Genesis

3:17).

"All experience points to the fact that every living organism

eventually dies. This is a process in which the highly developed order

of the organism is reduced to a random and disorderly collection of

molecules. We are reminded that we are `dust' and to `dust' we

ultimately return 04. Even today gerontologists cannot agree upon a

definition for the aging process(somatic mutations).

By the word of God the scientifically projected heat death

anticipated as the destiny of this universe, when all free energy has

been utilized, and converted into non-available heat enegy, will never

be reached (Romans 8:19; 8:21; II Peter 3:13).

My conclussion to the above inference that "theory" and "fact" are

accepted in the realm of `evolution' is that it can not `logically' be,

even, an inclination except in cases of `bias' in favor of some

motivation other than the seeking of truth. Further, that any

suggestion to a validity in "evolutionary christianity" must be,

supposed, without any clear definative analysis of either belief.

p.s. God willing, my next response will address the issue of Satan

being offered as the father of the evolutionary concept. ... et al
