The second Law requires the universe to have had a beginning: the First Law precludes its having begun itself. The only possible reconciliation of this problem is that the universe was created by a cause transcendent to itself. |
First Law The first law simply states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. Energy may be changed from one form into another, but the total amount remains unchanged. | Second Law The second law says three things:- Systems will tend toward the most probable state
- Systems will tend toward the most random state
- Systems will increase entropy, where entropy is a measure of the availability of energy to do useful work.

The law of increasing entropy is a universal law of decreasing complexity whereas evolution is supposed to be a universal law of increasing complexity. Creationists have been pointing out this serious contradiction for years. |
"The chance that higher life forms have emerged in this way is comparable with the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junk yard might assemble a Boing 747 from the materials therein." -- Hoyle on Evolution; Nature vol 294 November 12, 1981 p. 105 |
