MadSci Network: Evolution |
Here's a question from my creationist friend, "The question ISN'T whether there is enough 'raw energy' from the sun to drive a mythical evolutionary process, but how does it perform it? You don't see a pile of lumber, bricks, and nails spontaneously collaborate and form a building. There surely is enough 'raw energy' from the sun to perform the process but without some intelligent source to instigate it, the lumber, bricks, and nails will just sit there and collect dust. This thermodynamic argument for evolution is fallicious for a few reasons. 1.It only applies to 'open' systems. That's laughable because all other systems are also equally 'open.' 2.It doesn't apply to 'living' systems." How would you answer this?
