Re: If no-one has said this before...
No, all planets around a star are using the energy from the star. We are using the energy of our sun. That mean, as a system, a planet is not a closed system, but as a solar system, to all intents and purposes, the solar system is 'enclosed'. (it realy isn't, but for practical matters, it is).
Life can exist because of the pumping of new energy into the system of the earth from the sun. The sun is 'gaining' entropy as it uses up the hydrogen in fusion.
All planets gain energy from their respective sun. It is just on earth, we know that this energy is being used to provide energy for life.

Re: Evos Ignorance must be to them sublime
Do you have one? You are also making a stretch there that 'information' has anything to do what so ever with SLOT. It does not.

That sounds like the nonsense that Dembski made up about 'conservation of information.'
Define 'Information'. Give me a mechanism that 'information' can be detected.
It sounds like to me that someone is trying to desperartly combine a totally metaphysical concept with a totally phsyical description of how heat behaves.
