Abiogenesis does not violate the second law.

Creationists commonly assertion that abiogenesis violates the second law of thermodynamics (2LOT). They can only convince people who don't understand thermodynamics won't do any honest homework to figure it out.

you should fix your microphone. the distortion is audible and distracting.

Others have told me this. I've tried moving it in later vids. I think I'm going to get a new camera and mic as soon as I can get a little ahead.

@creationists 1. You exist and are capable of creating order (you can order words, we have proof on youtube).

2. You are not capable of violating any physical laws, including the 2nd law of thermodynamics (you can't order words without converting energy and thereby increasing entropy of the whole system and we have proof of that, too).

3. Ergo, physical laws allow order to increase.

Every orderly thing you do is contradicting your belief, unless you show you can violate physical laws.

@TheFallibleFiend Its probably not your mic, I think you have your gain staging wrong. Basically everywhere there is a volume control you need to set it optimally, and so it does not distort. No red lights allowed. Hope that helps.

Good reasoning.

Snowflakes move NATURALLY from disorder to order as they form. Snowflake formation is an exothermic process. The heat-of-formation from a snowflake forming ensures that the disorder of the universe is always increasing. DNA does the same thing. When it becomes more ordered, it gives off heat, which makes the universe more chaotic, and the NET entropy is +. If you are trapped on this concept as evidence against evolution. GO TO THE LIBRARY, DIMWIT!

Thank you for explaining this so patiently, very interesting.

statistically impossible

Shannon entropy is defined in terms of equations that are very similar to thermodynamic entropy. That doesn't mean that Information has "thermodynamic value."

Look up the work of Tom Schneider at NIH.

statistical mechanics defends order value of molecules also information has thermodynamic value. every word I type here has thermodynamic value. I had to use energy to create entropy to balance out order value of these words typed.
