Fact: Laws are considered more reliable than theories

Fact: Evolution, specifically abiogenesis, contradicts the Second Law of Thermodynamics

Fact: Usually, theories which contradict laws are discarded

Therefore: Evolution as a theory should be discarded until a more suitable theory of the origins of life is proposed

Since the first fact is incorrect, the rest of the argument doesn't follow. If you'd like to debate the definitions of law and theory, I could promote a thread for that purpose.

If you'd like to debate the second law of thermodynamics, I could promote such a thread.

Please edit your proposal, then post a short note that you've done so and I'll take another look.

^Bump^

Clive? There's at least one person very interested in discussing thermodynamics with you. Let me know if you fix your opening post.
