Page 99 - Genesis: Book of Beginnings and Science Behind it

Evolutionary scientists claim that life began by random chance from a non-living "primordial soup" and
that all of what we see is billions of changes that happened accidentally and just by coincidence, helping
the evolving animal better survive. Let's look at the mathematical probability of some of these "rote
chances" happening to form life.

Some Basic Laws of the Universe

A physical law or scientific law is a scientific generalization based on empirical observations of
physical behavior. Laws of nature are observable. Scientific laws are empirical, describing the
observable laws. Empirical laws are typically conclusions based on repeated scientific experiments and
simple observations over many years, and which have become accepted universally within the scientific
community.

Thermodynamic laws describe the movement of heat and work (energy) throughout the universe.

The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or
destroyed. Energy can only change forms. The official way to say it is like this. The
change in a system's internal energy is equal to the difference between the heat
added to the system from its surroundings and the work done by the system on its
surroundings. It means that food energy is changed to biological energy for the
body. The energy needed to maintain life, plus the work we do as individuals, is the
amount of energy the body consumes. The excess energy is processed by the body
and stored in fat tissue (energy is conserved or stored).

From a creation perspective, this makes sense since the Bible says that God completed his creation on
day six, and therefore, it only changes; nothing new is created. It is, however, a problem from an
evolutionary perspective since it needs the existence of energy to come into existence naturally. This is
equally accepted by faith, just as one accepts God creating by faith. In fact, it is even rational, since
energy is not being created nor destroyed in our universe, that it had its beginning by the creative act of
God.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics states, “energy systems have a tendency to increase their
entropy (disorder) rather than decrease it.” The Second Law describes basic principles familiar in
everyday life. It is partially a universal law of decay, the ultimate cause of why everything ultimately
falls apart and disintegrates over time. Material things are not eternal. Everything appears to change
eventually, and chaos increases. Nothing stays as fresh as the day one buys it; clothing becomes faded,
threadbare, and ultimately returns to dust. Everything ages and wears out. Even death is a
nd
manifestation of this law. The effects of the 2 law are all around, touching everything in the universe.

nd
When sin entered the world, just as God promised, death entered the world. The 2 law was put into
motion by an act of disobedience, and it affects all living creatures and systems. As we age, our bodies
become less organized, and eventually, complex systems begin to fail. Death is our ultimate end.
