The First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics are two scientific explanations confirming the origin and destiny of the universe and life from an intelligent Creator and Designer.
The weight of scientific evidence shows that cosmic and biological macro-evolutionary theory is a complete violation of nature’s thermodynamic laws because the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics confirms that the physical universe and life had an origin and they could never have evolved under purely natural conditions. Thermodynamics describes heat, work, temperature, and energy relationships. Thermodynamics predicts all physical systems will reach their equilibrium, which can be described by specifying their properties, such as pressure, temperature, and chemical composition. When external constraints change, these properties generally change. The thermodynamic laws describe these changes and predict the system’s equilibrium condition. The first law indicates that whenever energy is converted from one form into another form, the total energy quantity remains the same. In other words, energy and matter can neither be created nor destroyed. All energy and matter within the universe is being conserved and the total sum is constant, according to Dr. Isaac Asimov.
The second law indicates that, within any closed finite system, the system’s entropy does not decrease. In other words, energy and matter changes from a usable state into and non-usable state, but the total amount of energy and matter remains the same for doing work in an isolated system, according to Dr. Isaac Asimov. Every real process goes toward a greater probability condition. The probability function generally employed in thermodynamics is entropy. The smaller possible arrangement numbers, then the less the entropy. If there is only one place for each thing, then the entropy is zero. If the system is highly random, then the entropy is a large number. Therefore, orderliness is associated with low entropy and randomness with high entropy. Within the systems scientists ordinarily study, they observe that there are a large possible arrangement numbers therefore the entropy is a large number. The second law of thermodynamics declares that left to itself any isolated system will go toward greater entropy, which also means toward greater randomness and disorder, according to Dr. Harold F. Blum. Therefore, the physical universe functions on conservation and deterioration, according to Dr. Duane Gish and Dr. Henry Morris.
THERMODYNAMICS PROVE UNIVERSE’S CREATION
For many astrophysicists, the First Law of Thermodynamics demonstrates that the entire matter and energy quantity within the finite universe remains constant, while The Second Law of Thermodynamic shows that matter and energy within the universe always transform from usable state to a non-usable state, from complexity to simplicity, or from order to chaos. Therefore, the universe could never have created itself and it could never have existed eternally, or it would have run down an infinite time ago. Therefore, the physical universe, including its matter and energy, was created a finite time ago, according to the weight of scientific evidence.
The first law is the most fundamental generalization and observation about the universe that the scientific community has ever made, according to Dr. Isaac Asimov. “The First Law teaches that a natural process cannot bring into existence something from nothing. If the First Law is correct, which seems to be the case, and if the universe had a beginning, which seems to be scientifically accepted, then one conclusion is that something unnatural created the universe. The thought that the universe may have originated supernaturally is unsettling to many people. However, taken at face value, this conclusion is consistent with the total sum of evidence before us,” according to Dr. Robert Gange.
The “big-bang” theory describing the universe’s origination contradicts numerous physical evidences and it appears to be embraced by faith in a purely materialistic explanation for the universe’s origin. While scientific data show that the physical universe is expanding from a singularity point, it could never have originated from a chaotic and random explosion commonly referred to as the Big Bang because the Second Law of Thermodynamic predicts an increase in entropy, which is a measurement of disorder proliferating throughout the universe, as we move forward in time. Therefore, if we were to travel backward in time, we would observe a significant decrease in the entropy throughout the universe; thus, the universe could never have originated from a state of total entropy, which means no Big Bang ever happened in cosmic history. Actually, the Second Law of Thermodynamics demonstrates that there was a time in the universe’s history when everything was in perfect synchronization, which is scientific confirmation for special creation, according to Dr. Russell Humphreys.
This was the case with other Darwinian cosmological theories that have been discredited by the weight of scientific evidence, such as Hoyle’s steady-state theory and the oscillating universe theory. The Second Law of Thermodynamics demonstrates that the universe had a finite beginning; therefore, the steady-state-theory and the oscillating universe theory are in violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics. A definitive subject’s inconceivability should never be permitted to rule out any theory that explains the observational data’s relationship and its utilization for scientific predictions, according to Dr. Wernher von Braun.
THERMODYNAMICS PROVE LIFE’S CREATION
Life appears abruptly and in complex forms in the fossil record, and gaps appear systematically throughout the fossil record between various living species, according to Dr. Jonathan Wells. These facts demonstrate plant and animal creation, while showing that macro-evolution never happened, according to Dr. Michael Behe. As stated above, the Second Law of Thermodynamics demonstrates that things move from order to disorder unless added energy is directed by a conversion mechanism, whether a system is open or closed. Therefore, simple molecules and complex protein, DNA, and RNA molecules could never have evolved through a naturalistic random mechanism into a living cell, according to Dr. Jonathan wells. Thus, the scientific data shows that Darwinism is in complete violation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, according to Dr. Duane Gish.
Darwinists argue that evolution can occur with open systems. In other words, life on planet Earth is an open system therefore the evolutionary process sidesteps the Second Law’s demand for increasing disorder with time, according to Dr. Lewin Roger. However, entropy (a measurement of disorder) normally increases within any system open to an external energy influx. While the conditions for increasing complexity require an open system and available energy, these two conditions are met by other systems on planet Earth. Although they are necessary for an imaginary evolutionary process, they are insufficient conditions for life’s evolution because the mechanisms for storing and converting incoming energy require a conversion mechanism, such as photosynthesis in plant metabolism, in animal machinery, and in artificial constructions, according Dr. Duane Gish.
In other words, merely specifying any useful energy source does not offer a satisfactory explanation for how the ordering process occurs. To do that, we need to identify the exact mechanisms that will couple the available energy reservoir into biologically relevant processes. Therefore, energy alone is not sufficient to create complex ordered systems required for life. To build complex systems we must have mechanisms to capture raw energy, convert it into useful energy, and then be able to use the energy, according to Dr. Paul Davies.
Furthermore, this means that the growth and development of a plant seed into a tree or an embryo into an adult animal demonstrates a continuation of preexisting genetic information already written in the genetic code of the seed or embryo before physical maturation, but never an increase in genetic complexity or development of new Genes, according to Dr. Georgia Purdom.
Many laboratory experiments related to life’s origin theories have failed to remotely approached any life form synthesis from dead chemicals, and the highly limited outcomes have depended on laboratory conditions that are artificially imposed and highly unlikely. These conditions’ high improbability and the relatively insignificant outcomes demonstrate conclusively that life could never emerge by any Darwinian naturalistic process. Finally, if elements within the scientific community successfully replicated the imaginary primeval conditions for life’s origin, this would only confirm that it takes intelligence to create life anyway because only the most intelligent and educated people among us could create or explain life’s origins scientifically.
THE FIRST AND SECOND LAWS OF THERMODYNAMICS
The laws of nature are high level scientific achievements. Underneath nature’s laws are theories, hypotheses, and models. Many scientific observations in the universe are based upon the operations of these natural laws. The First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics are two scientific explanations confirming the origin and destiny of the universe and life from an intelligent Creator and Designer. As stated above, the First Law of Thermodynamics demonstrates that there is no known physical and chemical process whereby matter and energy originates into existence from nothing.
Without empirical evidence, Darwinists are left with a gigantic gap in their materialistic religious belief system, which is their doctrine of matter originating from purely natural materialistic processes. This absurdity leads to the following logical deduction: The creation of the universe and life requires an intelligent Creator and Designer, which many intellectual honest observers believe was a supernatural God. However, while evolutionism requires many miracles, Darwinists reject any intelligent supernatural maker. Their reasoning leaves an enormous unexplained gap in the evolutionary model’s explanation for origins. Therefore, evolutionism contradicts the First Law of Thermodynamics and Creation agrees with nature’s law.
Darwinism violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics because the Second Law shows that everything has been going through a process of degeneration from an original perfect creation. This means a decrease in complexity and an increase in simplicity or disorganization. However, the evolution model
