I have been following this topic with much interest. I have also read Kerner’s book and am a professional scientist in Oxford. This book is interesting for those who are open-minded and the theory of devolution is an interesting concept especially if you start to analyse available data on cosmology and fossil records etc with this mind. The Universe is expanding at an increasing rate and will eventually end with a cold death. There will be eventually no light, no heat and no life. Luckily for the inhabitants of the Universe this will take a very long time.
Thus it will all eventually comply with the 2LOT and all regions of the universe will be affected including my house which appears to fall into a complete state of disorder compared to other regions very quickly for some reason! Although the 2LOT applies to the whole Universe, during its lifetime there are areas of apparent order including galaxies, solar systems and planets that can support life.
Darwin’s theory of natural selection has been proven to be correct from many observations of nature. However, the formation of life (its only happened on one planet as far as we have observed) and the evolution of human beings from apes is another matter and I think these both still require thorough investigation and rationale explanations supported through observation. Kerner’s book offers an interesting but controversial theory.
I like to view the Universe as a giant hologram that is fragmenting through the 2LOT, with each fragment (the smallest being a hydrogen atom) retaining the information of the whole but it is only beings/fragments of a certain consciousness or order (i.e. human beings) that still retain the capacity of free will to either go with the flow (i.e devolve) or improve their state of order.
If you also accept the possibility that all life may have a conscious element (many people don’t) that continually reincarnates after physical death (based upon Eastern philosophy) and that this consciousness once incarnated into a physical body is then also subjected to the laws of universe and the 2LOT, then we have a system by which each individual by freedom of choice can determine their own fate during many incarnations. If one goes with the flow and essentially becomes an observer through many lifetimes (which the majority of human beings do) then you will eventually lose the capacity to change and reincarnate into another human body. Your fate is then essentially sealed along with the Universe. Therefore 2LOT rules in this Universe.
