Re: laws of thermodynamics

Thank you for the reference to the article. I enjoyed it. I might also note the case someone else (?) made in this thread that heat doesn't necessarily mean increased order. The example given was ice melting to water and then becoming steam. Ice, with its crystalline habit, is much more ordered than steam.
 
I greatly appreciate your insight.

As a Christian whose professional specialty is chemical thermodynamics, I got sufficiently peeved with Christian misuse of the Second Law that I wrote a whole essay about the topic several years ago:

Not long ago, somebody asked me about the essay Jim Armstrong mentioned finding on christiananswers.net. I think it is a fine example of how one can take some true things, some hand-waving assertions, and a bit of total B.S. and weave it all together into a persuasive presentation that can deceive the the average non-expert reader into conclusions that are nonsense. It is sad that the word "Christian" is associated with such things.
