If I do not understand thermodynamic systems then it must be your assertion
that
God or space aliens are guiding evolution. If that's the case, neither I nor
the
Evolutionist community has any interest in your faith. Evolutionists
believe (do
you really need such a basic education?) that essentially the only outside
influence
on Evolution is the sun's energy. Does that not make the Earth a closed
system? Is
that not what Evolutionists preach? No wonder you Evolutionists spend so
much time
hiding behind fascist laws to propagate evolution -- reason doesn't come to
your aid.

So, where's ET? Why couldn't you make the least bit of intellectual effort
and
anticipate that we would like an explanation of why the Earth isn't a closed
system.

I'm going to spell this out for you (unavoidable given the forum) -- the
only
acceptable definition is the one that applies to the context.

WHAT DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND ABOUT "RELEVANT"? Changing allele frequencies is
not the issue. Further, it wasn't even the issue when the word Evolution
became
attached to Darwin's dogma.

As I creationist, my claim is that Evolution doesn't account for the
complexity of
modern life. As for the origins of species, God, but I freely admit that's
religious.
You're more than welcome to offer a scientific explanation, but you
Evolutionists
don't know the difference between science and naturalistic hogwash.
Challenge met.

If you were a defense lawyer, would you tell the jury that the evidence of
your
client's claim is out there all they have to do is look for it? If so, you
would
have the worst trial record possible.
