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.

So what did they live on?
Fruit and berries?
Don't get me wrong, I am not an atheist, I am an agnostic. Atheists are as bad as theists - both hold very strong beliefs about the existence of God with circumstantial evidence.
But God as a personal entity - a kind of super-human is bizarre.
Why, if there is a higher power, would it be humanoid (in the case of God creating mankind in his own image...) - surely, intuitively, a higher power would be completely incomprehensible to all of us mortals.
I have no problem with theists who claim the existence of God through personal experience - God as an inexplicable, all-encompassing meta-entity, but a creative god holds no water.
If your all-good God created the universe however many thousands of years ago creationists would claim, why did he deceive us by giving us carbon-dating? Would He mislead us in this way?
The Bible is outdated. People of it's time had no grasp of science - they had no idea of space, they thought they were alone in the universe and looked to the skies for inspiration. Being somewhat less enlightened than we are today, they were duped into accepting that what is essentially another, more powerful person was controlling them.
With the ascent of science, it is a pity that scince's disciples are, in the main, rejecting anything beyong the realm of matter and energy, through lack of proof.
For me, the oddities of our scientific discoveries are the best evidence for something beyond the material universe. For one, there is heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the universe's attempt to escape further measurement. And for me, EVOLUTION ITSELF is one of the best reasons to believe in a higher power. Evolution can be expressed as the programming of all matter to tend toward intelligence and perfection - the laws of physics which compel hydrogen to become every other element allow the formation of amino acids which will inevitably, given the right conditions, which we have, build into life, something so bizarre and seemingly unlikely.

Hmm, so the Cattle etc just rolled over and you could take ribs from them to eat. It didn't hurt them and they grew back within a day......

this has nothing whatsoever to do with shame - that is a purely human concept. what I am talking about is basic biology theories, that have been confirmed over time to become biology FACT. people don't avoid procreating with their relatives just because it is morally wrong, but because it is dangerous for the species.

that comes nowhere close to answering my query and is an extremely vague statement.

so why was man not also chosen to look after the dinosaurs?

so why were they wiped out? because they couldn't handle a different climate? that is true of pretty much any creature you could name, including humans.

Actually everything was fine, man had no shame. But God shamed man, like when they breeded with relatives.

Everyone was peaceful, the dinosaurs would be peaceful with the humans.

so because a law was passed, the genetic structure of all species on the planet and the most fundamental laws of biology were magically altered? Amazing.

Adam and his daughter, Eve and her son, the daughter and their son, procreating.

that was handy, wasn't it?

I don't know what you are getting at, but it has nothing to do with dinosaurs.

But the law about incest did not come out until the law of Moses, long after Noah. The LORD only made this a cursed and sinful thing to do when Moses introduced the law.

But the law about incest did not come out until the law of Moses, long after Noah. The LORD only made this a cursed and sinful thing to do when Moses introduced the law.
