invalidity clear.
Despite the fact that Prigogine did not manage to find a way to
support evolution, the mere fact that he took initiatives of this sort was
enough for the evolutionists to accord him the very greatest respect. A
large number of evolutionists have welcomed Prigogine's concept of "self-
organization" with great hope and a superficial bias. Prigogine's
imaginary theories and concepts have nevertheless convinced many
people who do not know much about the subject that evolution has
resolved the dilemma of thermodynamics, whereas even Prigogine
himself has accepted that the theories he has produced for the molecular
level do not apply to living systems—for instance, a living cell:
The problem of biological order involves the transition from the molecular
activity to the supermolecular order of the cell. This problem is far from
being solved. 369
These are the speculations that evolutionists have indulged in,
encouraged by Prigogine's theories, which were meant to resolve the
conflict between evolution and other physical laws.

The Difference Between Organized
and Ordered Systems

If we look carefully at Prigogine and other evolutionists' claims, we
can see that they have fallen into a very important trap. In order to make
evolution fit in with thermodynamics, evolutionists are constantly trying
to prove that a given order can emerge from open systems.
And here it is important to bring out two key concepts to reveal the
deceptive methods the evolutionists use. The deception lies in the
deliberate confusing of two distinct concepts: "ordered" and "organized."
We can make this clear with an example. Imagine a completely flat
beach on the seashore. When a strong wave hits the beach, mounds of
sand, large and small, form bumps on the surface of the sand.
This is a process of "ordering." The seashore is an open system, and
the energy flow (the wave) that enters it can form simple patterns in the
sand, which look completely regular. From the thermodynamic point of
view, it can set up order here where before there was none. But we must
