Someone referenced the Second Law of Thermodynamics and it's application to creationism. Being curious, I looked it up online and found the Young Earth Creationism viewpoint on www.christiananswers.net. This is the first time I have seen the thermodynamics applied to creationism - yes, I was naive.
The application doesn't make sense because it says everything in the universe goes from more order to less order/chaos because of the second law. This implies that heat cannot ever be recovered which seems to contradict the law of conservation of mass and energy in that mass/energy cannot be created or destroyed. I understand that heat may dissipate or be "lost" but the actual amount of energy hasn't changed. The energy from heat is only transferred.
Is this accurate/reasonable thinking?
