You see a famous actor and
actress in the US of
yesteryear in these pictures.
Scientists say that new ones
replace every 7-10 years, all
the cells in our body. In
other words, every ten
years, you are not the same
person you used to be. As
the body replaces cells, the
nd
2 law bears evidence that
the new body is not quite as
organized as the old one. As
you see in the comparative pictures, the actor and actress
changed considerably over seven or eight redoes. It’s called
aging.
As you see in the bottom left photos of both people, they
succumbed to the law as some system in their bodies failed, causing death.
It is well known that, left to themselves, chemical compounds ultimately break apart into simpler
materials; they do not ultimately become more complex. Outside forces can increase order for a time
(through the expenditure of relatively large amounts of energy and through the input of some intelligent
design). However, such a reversal cannot last forever. Once the force is released, processes return to
their natural direction – greater disorder. Their energy is transformed into lower levels of availability for
further work. The natural tendency of complex ordered arrangements and systems is to become
simpler and more disorderly with time.
Naturalistic Evolutionism requires physical laws and atoms to organize themselves into increasingly
complex and beneficial, ordered arrangements. Thus, billions of things are supposed to have developed
upward over eons of time, becoming more orderly and complex.
However, this basic law of science (2 Law of Thermodynamics) reveals the exact opposite. In the long
nd
run, complex, ordered arrangements actually tend to become simpler and more disorderly with time.
There is an irreversible downward trend ultimately at work throughout the universe. With its ever-
increasing order and complexity, evolution appears impossible in the natural world.
The distinguished scientist and origins expert, Dr. A.E. Wilder-Smith, puts it this way:
“What is the difference then between a stick, which is dead, and an orchid, which is alive? The
difference is that the orchid has teleonomy (information for purpose) in it. It is a machine that
captures energy to increase order. Where you have life, you have teleonomy, and then the
Sun’s energy can be taken and make the thing grow – increasing its order” [temporarily].
“The pure chemistry of a cell is not enough to explain the workings of a cell, although the
workings are chemical. The chemical workings of a cell are controlled by information that does
cxi
not reside in the atoms and molecules.”
