Default Re: Understanding the second law of thermodynamics

As a complete sidenote that only barely relates to the OP, the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, when used in evolution debates, is absolutely hilarious. Creationists talk about how the Theory of Evolution is only a theory, and then they speak of the 2nd LAW like it is a law. Its a great example of how the nomenclature used is so misleading to the average person. It is at least POSSIBLE that the 2nd Law is wrong. Its based on empirical data, its a statistical law, and it is impossible to test it in every possible condition. It is really "just" a theory. But its used like a divine weapon against the "theory" of evolution. Makes me chuckle a little bit.
