Are Ville Kaila and Arto Annila of the University ...

Are Ville Kaila and Arto Annila of the University of Helsinki aware that the Second Law applies ONLY to CLOSED SYSTEMS and as such, so long as the sun doth shine, it is absolutely inapplicable to biological systems? Fallacious reasoning and spurious, ignorant application of the Laws of Thermodynamics really makes my ass weary. This is exactly the uninformed mistake that creationists used in the past to infer that the Second Law PRECLUDED evolution. See how the same fallacious reasoning and ignorant application of the Laws of thermodynamics allow equally spurious and completely opposite interpretations? Apply the Second Law only to closed systems...it not only makes sense...IT'S THE LAW! Cheezis, guys. Learn a little Chemistry, OK? -Dr. Donald B. MacGowan

Dear Dr. MacGowan

By reading the paper more carefully, you would notice that this work is a continuation on the theories of non-equilibrium thermodynamics by Ilya Prigogine, who "opened up" the entropy law, and eventually got a Nobel prize for his discoveries. Instead of using the closed system definition of entropy as order or disorder only, entropy is considered here as a dispersal of energy towards more probable states. This view suggests that an open system evolves spontaneously towards complexity when it gets an influx of matter and energy (as in life). Stating it otherwise, this view suggests that “evolution” (in its abstract meaning i.e. dS/dt) is a probable event for an open state system, and has nothing to do with the creationistic views. If fact, if one would like to be radical, it could even be thought of as an scientific reasoning for why evolution of complex systems takes spontaneously place without interference of any mysterious vis vitae, “force of life”. Thus, our hypothesis is in full accordance with Darwin's “survival of the fittest”. In addition, it suggests that this principle is very similar to the principle of least action (“take the shortest path”).

Sincerely,
Ville Kaila

The lowest servant in Heaven is still in Heaven.

Whoever rules in hell is still in hell, but they won't rule for long.

The sad fact is that your idea is severely in error.  Sadly, you invoke evolution, which has been discredited in all legitimate scientific circles many decades ago with the development of Quantum Chromodynamics.

Evolution failed because it "cleverly" plies to force us to accept hard-line abject atheism as the enforced state religion as it was in China during the "Cultural Revolution" and during the Stalin years of the Soviet Union.

On a purely scientific basis, evolution falls flat on its face on an empirical chemical basis, even if we disclude cutting edge physics.  Physics and chemistry still firmly dispute evolution.  Truly, you should have learned by now that evolution was only an oppressive fraternity prank foisted on persons ignorant of any science whatsoever.

An irritating neurotic named Darwin was nominated to get out of college so that the other students could study, and was violently heaved off the tramp steamer his college hired to get rid of him, "On an island infested with headhunters."  The irate crew that was getting tired of Darwin's antics.  They found the bleakest desert islands they knew about and heaved Darwin into the water, glad to be rid of that raving lunatic.  They were the Galapagos, basically devoid of fresh water, nothing to eat -- basically a death sentence.  Only the threat of prosecution caused the college to have Darwin rescued -- and they hoped that they would not get there in time.

Darwin was finally and grudgingly rescued, came back to England having gone from neurotic to psychotic, and the only way to keep him quiet was to publish his ridiculous hypothesis -- regardless that it has never once passed scientific rigor.

Now, you know the truth about evolution, why it is a stale and unsubstantiated hypothesis, has never been a creditable theory, and why you should not take part in these dead-serious fraternity pranks, regardless that no one is laughing anymore.
