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.”
