PRATTs are...
PRATTs are "Points Refuted a Thousand Times".
You managed to cram and mangle a number in one paragraph. For fun let's break them out:
Newtons 2nd law of thermodynamics would be busted out if we were not created in the first place.
It is not Newton's law. Those laws developed over time from a number of scientists, mostly during the 19th century.
When discussing biological evolution the laws of thermodynamics do not present any problem whatever. That has been refuted so much that even the more respectable creationist organizations suggest that such arguements not be used. Just trust me on this one: don't get into thermodynamics if you aren't at least passingly familiar with the ideas.
Of course since there is no such thing of macro evolution then this leaves only micro evolution as the topic.
This one always gets in a mess because the terms are never defined very well. Macro and micro evolution are terns used in biology some of the time. By the definitions used there they both occur and can be examined.
You will have to define the terms. I suggest that you do so in:
JJ's Definition of Kind
Not that you are in a science forum. The guidelines you agreed to mean you have to back up what you say or withdraw it. Good luck.
Random mutation only degrades, and does not 'make better'. So we are less developed today than at the time of creation.
This one is utterly wrong too, of course. It is big enough that you might want to start a new thread on it. In your opening post (OP) you should show that you know what kind of mutations there are and how they can only go one way -- downhill. Again, good luck .
Three in one paragraph. It's probably not a record but it's good for a first attempt.
Another thing: Please don't clutter up threads with things that are not directly on topic. It is usually a good idea to create new threads or use the Search function to find an appropriate one. Thanks.
