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 Scots-Irish engineer William Thomson, 1st Baron Kalvin (1851), the law states the entropy of the universe constantly increases.
Discussion:
For Kalvin, the second law of thermodynamics is explained like this: The second law of thermodynamics states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.
Live Science.com writes this: “The Second Law indicates that thermodynamic processes, i.e., processes that involve the transfer or conversion of heat energy, are irreversible because they all result in an increase in entropy.”
This law has an impact on time. Wikipedia discusses the Arrow of Time and the 2nd law like this: “Perhaps one of the most consequential implications of the Second Law is that it gives us the thermodynamic arrow of time. Therefore, because there is no such thing as a perfectly reversible thermal process, if someone asks what is the direction of time, we can answer with confidence that time always flows in the direction of increasing entropy.“ Hence, from one perspective, entropy measurement is a way of distinguishing the past from the future.”
Wikipedia discusses the Future of the Universe – The Second Law also predicts the end of the universe, according to Boston University. “It implies that the universe will end in a ‘heat death’ in which everything is at the same temperature. This is the ultimate level of disorder; if everything is at the same temperature, no work can be done, and all the energy will end up as the random motion of atoms and molecules.”
Here is the problem: Entropy is the only quantity in the physical sciences that requires a particular direction for time, sometimes called an arrow of time and according to Wikipedia, Entropy and the arrow of time is on the list of unsolved problems in physics.
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.
Entropy, background radiation, and the clock show us the universe had a beginning.
According to Space.com, “According to the Big Bang theory, the universe was born as a very hot, very dense, single point in space.”
According to Space.com, “Traditional Big Bang theory posits that our universe began with a singularity — a point of infinite density and temperature whose nature is difficult for our minds to grasp.”
Given:
All scientific laws must be compatible. Two scientific theories that are incompatible mean that one is failed.
Conflict:
You may believe one of the 10 specific hypothesis discussed concerning the beginning of the universe among the many listed at News Scientist.com. Regardless of your hypothesis, how did low entropy come into existence? Why is it growing in our universe. This is an unanswered problem in physics because it violates the 2nd law of thermodynamics.
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.”
If the universe begin hot, there were no cool regions. They are saying the universe, with all of its matter, dark matter, anti-matter, etc. begin at a uniform temperature and in equilibrium. Cool regions appearing out of a hot universe violates the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics.
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.” The Second Law of Thermodynamics and Entropy specifically says that the universe is moving into thermal equilibrium. Another violation.
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.” How would the universe cool from its beginning when it was all hot. Another violation.
Scholastic writing that the universe was small and primitive leads me to ask how was the primitive energy created? How did the primitive energy mature into today’s universe.
Energy being born and maturing is incompatible with energy being a stable and conserved in all of the science experiments that have been conducted.
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:
My air conditioner quit working one evening. We called an air conditioner repairman the next morning bright and early. We want someone who understands that thermal equilibrium was taking place at my house. Entropy was occurring quickly. My cool region was degrading.
What I needed was a repairman that understood Entropy and how to re-create a cool region. I did not want an evolutionist to tell me to wait long enough, a cool region will appear.
