The Truth About Evolution and Religion

The chance of getting four perfect bridge hands is 52 factorial. If everyone on Earth played bridge for 3.5 billion years, the chance of getting a perfect bridge hand is less than 0.0000000001 percent. This is the kind of calculation you have to understand in order to do statistical mechanics and thermodynamics. This is the basis of the second law of thermodynamics.

dkroemer writes:Yes, you increased the knowledge of the location of the cards.

dkroemer writes:So you admit that the theory of evolution has limited abilities to explain living organisms.

dkroemer writes:Second law of thermodynamics states that a system of particles tends towards a state of greater disorder.

dkroemer writes:However, non-biologists and crackpots who say there was so much time and so many organism and so many mutations that common descent is explained by natural selection are violating the second law of thermodynamics.

Perhaps next time you could just use some exotic word right at the beginning of your post and be done with it. It would really be appreciated.
