- Who was Rudolf Clausius?
German physicist… pioneered study of 2LoT - When did he do his work?
Mid-19th century. (1854 quote–died 1888) - How did Clausius state the 2nd law of thermodynamics in words?
Heat does not move from a colder body to a warmer one on its own - Who was Max Planck. When did he do his work?
German physicist. Early 20th century. Founder of quantum theory. - How did he state the 2nd Law?
Every process occurring in nature proceeds in the sense in which the sum of the entropies of all bodies taking part in the process is increased. (Entropy always increases) - What’s another name for the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
Law of increasing entropy - What is entropy?
The amount of disorder or disorganization in a system - Give an example of increasing entropy involving food coloring.
Blue gradually disperses throughout the clear - Give an example of increasing entropy involving ice in coke.
Ice gradually disperses throughout the coke - How can a jigsaw puzzle illustrate increasing entropy?
Always falls out of the box disorganized. - Give an example of increasing entropy involving a pile of bricks.
They never fall out of the truck stacked neatly - Give an example of increasing entropy involving your bedroom
It never just happens to become more organized and neat all on its own - What does the Second Law of Thermodynamics tell us about the universe?
It’s gradually becoming more disordered, disorganized, heading toward death - What does the Second Law of Thermodynamics say about simple molecules gradually getting together in order to make more complex molecules?
Cannot happen - Give some examples of items that represent a decrease in entropy
Automobiles, Homes, Calculator, Smart Phone, Computer, Dog House - What two things are required in order to “overcome” the effects of the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
Energy + Intentionality (Intelligent Plan) - Is a supply of energy alone (e..g, the sun) enough to reverse the Second Law?
(No) - How can people cause a temporary reversal in the Second Law of Thermodynamics?
Have an intelligent plan. Use creativity and intelligence and energy to organize and assemble parts carefully - What happens, over time, after people stop whatever they were doing to cause entropy to decrease?
The object begins to decay, fall apart, become less organized - How does the Second Law of Thermodynamics cause grief to atheists?
Things, including the molecules of life, don’t get more complex, more organized, more complicated on their own. - How do they try to get around it?
They assume that given billions and billions of years, an exception would occur - What illustration did Julian Huxley invent to try to show how higher life forms might have evolved from simpler life forms?
Million monkeys on a million typewriters would type a shakespearean play, given enough time - What does the real math tell us about Huxley’s illustration?
The universe would have to be unimaginably many times older than it is for it to happen - What is the Miller-Urey experiment?
Methane and ammonia with a spark of electricity, managed to get some amino acids to form - Why was the Miller-Urey experiment deceptive and misleading?
Real molecules of life, like proteins, cannot be formed this way because of their complexity, the amount of time that would be needed, and the 2nd Law - What is a polypeptide?
A chain of Amino Acids that represents a section of a protein - What happens to polypeptides if they are left to themselves?
They fall apart - So how are proteins put together from polypeptides?
They are assembled by molecular machines in the cell following instructions contained in DNA - What is the name of the video documentary that illustrates many of these things?
Unlocking the Mystery of Life - What, essentially, did the brilliant (but non-christian) astronomer and mathematician, Fred Hoyle, have to say about these things?
Natural processes couldn’t produce even one of the complex molecules of life. These foolish scientists are living in the twilight fringes of thermodynamics - What did the brilliant scientist Arthur Stanley Eddington have to say about these things?
If your theory goes against the 2LOT, I can offer no hope but total collapse of the theory - What does Genesis 1 have to say about these things?
God did it - What does Romans 1 have to say about these things?
It’s obvious that God did it. Only fools reject that obvious truth
