I DID NOT WRITE THIS, BUT JUST AS THE EVOLUTIONISTS ONLY BELIEVE DARWIN, I BELIEVE THE LORD AND ALL THOSE WHO STRESS HOW REDICULOUS EVOLUTION IS.

Hi there!
I am very happy to receive your mail.
I believe that this dialogue began with a question of whether evolution is legit. My argument is that I think it deceives students; going directly in opposition to testable science.
1. the laws of nature
The First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics is the law of energy conservation. As you know, this is an empirical or testable law of science. This law states while energy can be converted from one form to another, it can not be created or annihilated. It has been considered the most powerful or most fundamental generalization of the universe that scientists have ever been able to make. This would mean that mass nor energy can appear from nothing. If there were that would be a free lunch. Some have suspected black holes, but I believe that one has not been observed. Today, matter does not spring out of nothing. If I were to tell someone that something appeared or reappeared, they'd say it were a lie, fairy tale, or legend.
The question seems to choke many evolutionists when one tests the theory of evolution with the first law of thermodynamics. There are all sorts of untested hypothesis of how something could come from nothing and that something that people hypothesis about is actually something. If it exists, it is something.
This reminds me of the 19th century concept of spontaneous generation. Flies can't come from rotten meat. At that time, people speculated how flies came about or how some sort of growth came about and it was believed that spoiled foods caused it. We later found out that there was a much different mechanism occurring. Science at one point was clueless, and we now know insects and other living things don't come from dead ones. In the time of Darwin, scientists believed that "simple organisms" came from inanimate objects. Just put millions of years in between and an open system, and you have life beginning on Earth.
The Second Law of Thermodynamics
As you know that the law of entropy is this. Without any intelligence acting on a system, entropy is always increasing and order is decreasing. Entropy is that free energy or energy lost.
For example, after I straighten up my room, it is a natural process that it will start becoming chaotic over time. It will not get clean or straight on its own, but I will have to do it. Entropy in the big bang/evolution theory moves from disorder (a soupy primordial slime), to order (man, plants, and animals). Supposedly, there is no intelligent being acting on the young Earth and the world then moves from disorder and chaos, to order and complexity. It is that "blind random chance" that makes it impossible for life to be created in this order. It is amino acids, to amoebas, to apes, and then to astronauts.
This is not true because the energy of the earth flows from hot to cool bodies. Evolution requires constant violations of the second law of thermodynamics. Some evolutions then try to dogmatically defend their position of getting past the second law.
One argument is that it is only speaking of energy relationships of matter, while evolution deals with complex organisms arising from simpler ones. This is false.
Contemporary information theory deals with information entropy and militates against evolution on a genetic level. While in an energy conversion system, entropy dictates that energy will decay. In an informational system, entropy dictates that information will be distorted. It is certain that there is a conceptual connection between information and second law of thermodynamics.
Some evolutionists also say that entropy can't prevent evolution because the Earth was an open system heated by the rays of the sun. This is nonsense.
the sun's raise have never produced an upswing in complexity without teleonomy (ordering principal of life).
Energy from the sun doesn't produce an orderly structure of growth and development without information and an engine.
I may be incorrect in my analogy, but it reminds me of poring gas on a heap of junk that used to be a car. If the junk doesn't know how to use the gas, there is no way it will drive down the street. If the sun beats down on a dead plant, it does not produce growth, but rather speeds up decay!
If the sun beats on a live plant, it produces a temporary increase in complexity in growth.
Evolutionists sometimes also say that entropy did not occur in the past. Well, hey, I wouldn't say that if I was an evolutionist, because that would suggest some supernatural occurrence. *wink*
This is just the first topic on the long list of flaws that the theory of evolution has.
I'm not doubting that evolution is the best theory that scientists can come up with, but biology, anthropology, psychology, chemistry, and other science students are not told of the weaknesses of the theory. (As Phillup Johnson put it, Evolution is a “half-baked theory.” And guess what? Scientists nor students have to accept it.)
Sincerely,
The Doughboy
DOUGHBOY WROTE THIS LETTER TO AN EVOLUTIONIST, AND NEVER GOT A RESPONSE. THIS IS A COMMON PATTERN, WHEN THE CREATIONIST WINS THE POINT, THE EVOLUTIONIST BACKS DOWN.

No, you have the CHOICE. Do you want to have THIS WORLD or the NEXT WORLD? It is a perfectly fair choice, most people follow this world and that is what they end up with. It is a perfectly fair concepy. Your sins have to be somewhere, either on that cross or in Hell. It's your choice.

Fft. And just how do you suppose you control people if they realise they have a choice?
This is why your cult is never going to go national ;^)
When the Jews were God's people, why did they never think that they would go to heaven? Heaven is something simply not featured in Judaism.
But yet, now that is Christians hope? Why would God change his purpose, that there would be perfect humans living forever on Earth? Why did Jesus talk about the resurrection?
I just want you to think here.

Erm... so how did heaven get there if God didn't create it...?

Nothing really. But as far as I know the Bible makes a big deal of how God made Earth, then there's no mention of where Heaven and Hell came from... which just seems odd.

But he's omnipotent. Beyond the limits of time. So he would know Man was going to fail the test before they even took it. So why bother carrying on with some charade of a test to see the outcome when you already know the outcome? It's pointless. And also, from my understanding, our lives on Earth are sposed to be some kind of test to see whether or not we get into Heaven? But if God really is omnipotent he already knows before we have even been born if we'll end up in Heaven / Hell. So the whole 'test' thing on Earth is again, a charade.
If God is omnipotent, he is present in every dimension of space and time. And for any being to be at every point in space and time it means that the future is already set, because if there was any uncertainty, then the omnipotent being would not know what the future holds and would hence not be omnipotent... So if there really is an omnipotent being that is beyond the limits of time and space, then as has already been pointed out with another argument (the whole 'Blackmail' issue) we have no free-will. Becuase if the future has already been set, short of humankind finding a way to see the future/change the past, we can only go down the set path that God knows we will go down. Hence there is no real choice, just an illusion. If we are heading towards a pre-set future, all our actions are also pre-defined, meaning no matter how much we ponder what to do in any given situation, we will always do what has already been set, without even being aware of it...
> Nope, it was the WORD of GOD, who WAS there.
You're placing a lot of faith in this book being the word of God.
What evidence is there that it's the word of God?
The book says so. That is all.

The idea that every primitive religion used to explain the world.

No it doesn't. It gives a guess for the age of the Universe.
Based on scientific analysis on fossils, it doesn't have a CLUE.

I'm sure he did...

It's how it happened.
Sure, it doesn't happen in one step in one instant, but small changes over time lead to bigger changes. You start with some chemical reactions which by chance create some DNA. Roughly a billion or so years later and this DNA becomes us.
Comprendé? :-)

But if we believe in the teachings of The Bible then we ARE being 'forced' into following Jesus because what is the alternative! Hell-fire. It's subtle blackmail. All this talk of free-will is a sham. From a Christian point of view, if we don't obey we perish. There's no real choice.

God's FREE-WILL is perfect, it allows man to do whatever they want. Listen, do you want to be forced into following JESUS?
> Himself. God created Him with free-will, it was up to him what he did

So God's free-will is perfect, and the free-will of God's creations is imperfect. That's strikes as being just a little unfair. But then again, God's free-will in the Old testament isn't exactly perfect: what with all the smiting, plague-conjuring, and genocide. Some might even call His actions 'evil'. We do when a human does such things.

Himself. God created Him with free-will, it was up to him what he did with it.

I understand the concept of free-will, but unlike Man, the Angels hadn't 'fallen' - they were pristine, therefore where did Lucifer's 'evil intent' to disobey come from? It must have come from God, seeing that He created them.
