Few scientists have considered or pondered the full implications of
the law of entropy upon the theory of evolution. And, as we shall see,
entropy does occur in open systems such as our Earth.

The theory of evolution teaches that matter tends to evolve towards
greater and greater complexity and order. We are so accustomed to
seeing evolution of technology all about us (new cars, boats, ships,
inventions, etc.) that we assume that nature must work the same way
also. Of course, we forget that all those new gadgets and technology
had a human designer behind them. Nature, however, doesn't work the
same way.

The spontaneous (the unaided or undirected) tendency of matter is
always towards greater disorder -- not towards greater order and
complexity as evolution would teach. This tendency towards disorder
that exists in all matter can be temporarily overcome only if there
exists some energy converting and directing mechanism to direct,
develop, and maintain order.

It doesn't matter whether a system is open (with unlimited energy) or
closed (with limited energy), entropy occurs in both systems. In fact,
scientists discovered entropy here on our very Earth, which is an open
system in relation to the sun. The difference between an open system
and closed system is not entropy but, rather, the availability of
useful energy.

Is not energy from the Sun more than sufficient to drive the evolution
of life on Earth? The problem, again, is that it is not enough just to
have a sufficient supply of useful energy for evolution to occur.
There must also exist an energy converting and directing mechanism.

Energy converting and directing mechanism? WTF? Ever hear of
photosynthesis???

Which is mainly nuclear fusion powered, by that big fusion reactor in
the big room. People get burned, every year, and daily in the tropics,
by this reactor and we do little to prevent it. We need to put a shield
over that fusion reactor.

And don't get me started on the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.
