Definition:
This law has been restated over the years since French scientist Sadi Carnot (1924) demonstrated it while working with heat engines.
Let us look at one of the interpretations of the 2nd law. According to German scientist Rudolf Clausius (1854), the law states there can be no spontaneous transfer of heat from cold to hot.
Discussion:
For Clausius, the second law of thermodynamics is explained like this: The second law of thermodynamics, in terms of heat flowing, states that heat flows in one direction only.
Live Science.com writes this: “When a hot and a cold body are brought into contact with each other, heat energy will flow from the hot body to the cold body until they reach thermal equilibrium, i.e., the same temperature. However, the heat will never move back the other way; the difference in the temperatures of the two bodies will never spontaneously increase.”
Question:
How does this prove that the theory of evolution is a failed theory and should be discarded? Is Evolution a Theory?
Evolutionist claim that the universe started up on its own and eventually chemicals, energy, matter, stars, planets, and life evolved into you and me today.
According to Space.com, “According to the Big Bang theory, the universe was born as a very hot, very dense, single point in space.”
How did the universe get born “very hot”? Where did the heat energy come from? Why not lack of heat energy – cold?
If the universe was a single point at the beginning the single point was at equilibrium or the same temperature. Why does the universe have different temperatures? How did the universe get out of equilibrium?
Why are some locations in space (stars) so hot and other locations in space are so cold? After 13.7 billion years, it seems that the temperature of the universe would have equalized. (My ice chest equalizes in one day.)
Given:
All scientific laws must be compatible. Two scientific theories that are incompatible mean that one is failed.
Conflict:
There seems to be some very cold locations in the universe per the below 3 references:
- According to CNN, “In 1964, two scientists used a microwave receiver to hear the radio hiss that is the modern remnant of the Big Bang. While the universe after the Big Bang was unimaginably hot, it has cooled over the eons and these measurements showed that the temperature of the universe is about 3 Kelvin (-455 ºF). Further, the temperature is extraordinarily uniform.”
- According to Time, “The coldest place, according to astronomers using the world’s newest giant telescope, is the Boomerang Nebula, a cloud of gas puffed out by a dying star some 5,000 light-years away.”
- According to National Geographic, “Scientists can’t be sure exactly how the universe evolved after the big bang. Many believe that as time passed and matter cooled, more diverse kinds of atoms began to form, and they eventually condensed into the stars and galaxies of our present universe.”
The Second Law of Thermodynamics says that heat flow from hotter to colder. Heat does not flow from colder to hotter thereby creating a cold region. Since, the universe cannot have cold regions or at least not any colder than the original big bang temperature which was by all sources, very hot. This is a violation of the second law of thermodynamics.
Conclusion:
The Second Law of Thermodynamics remains. Is Evolution a Theory? The Theory of Evolution is rejected as it is incompatible.
Harry’s Engineering Logic Check:
Think of the big bang and its matter at the point of beginning. It was all together in a point of singularity and had a common core temperature at which time all thermal energy was in equilibrium.
Think of your Yeti cooler of drinks in luke warm water on July 3 awaiting your July 4 party. Are the contents of the Yeti going to burst forth at midnight to create different temperature regions; so that you have ice and warm drinks?
