You Can't Change the Laws of Physics When You Want To
I was driving down the road the other day when I noticed I was behind a car with a Darwin fish emblem and several NASA bumper stickers. It really started me to thinking about the Laws of Thermodynamics. Now, understand that my knowledge of physics is limited, but I do remember that the second law of thermodynamics basically states that things have a tendency to deteriorate into disorder. For example, take the teacher out of a well-organized classroom for fifteen minutes, and I guarantee you that the students will not turn into a well-tuned symphony. Or place an old rusted-out Buick in the middle of a field and leave it, and it will not turn into a shiny new Ferrari. So why then does a "scientist" who understands that this is a constant in our universe believe in the theory of evolution? While the concept of the survival of the fittest may be appealing to some, there is very little that is Christian about it. Additionally, the idea that single-celled organisms just mutated into some primordial form of life only to eventually evolve into a human being just blows my mind. The next time I have an opportunity to talk to someone who believes in evolution, I'm going to take them into my backyard, and I'm going to show them my oak tree, and then I'm going to ask them, "How long is it going to take for this oak tree to evolve into a new dining room table and chairs?" Without the Creator, there is no creation!
