Re: Evos Ignorance must be to them sublime
1) Your argument seems limited to abiogenesis and not evolutionary theory.
2) While you use a perhaps apt analogy between photosynthesis and a refrigerator... when discussing how energy may require an intricate mechanism to generate a result... you have not actually explained why 2LOT restricts a step-by-step buildup process toward chemical compounds/systems which are self-perpetuating and capable of more energy capture.
It might be of note that initial precursors to life may have nothing to do with photosynthesis at all. Some theories involve deepsea vent environments.

Re: Thermodynamics/infodynamics
We are not talking about infodynamics but thermodynamics. The two have analogies but they are not the same.
Heheheh... nice. In case you didn't know certain members of the ID movement believe information should be treated exactly the same, and one in particular (Dembski) makes claims as if he has come up with a new law (2LoT turned into 2LoI). Just wanted to make sure you know where some of this might be coming from.
