Re: Is entropy finally winning? (AKA A random post about randomness)
Depends on your defined system I suppose.. Entropy will always increase, so does it really surprise you?
If anyone likes thermodynamics and also likes to think about interesting arguments...
Creationists claim that evolution contradicts the second law of thermodynamics because living organisms are constantly evolving, becoming more organized.
People say that creationists misconstrue the law to explain what they want to be explained.. They say that evolution isn't ruled out by this argument, and that creationist's have offered no evidence to discount evolution.
Now, set aside what you believe in, whether its creationism, evolution, both, or neither, and give it the old college try. It is interesting to think about. I think the key is in, like i said before, how you define your system.
But lets hear it...
(this was a short answer question on my thermo exam a year ago)
