Well I wasn't aware of this level of ignorance until a while into my posts on EVC. I'll always remember my absolute shock at reading
"Let's be honest, you cannot stand on the surface of the Earth, it doesn't exist" by some poster here a few years ago.
Unfortunately the Second Law of Thermodynamics is a particularly difficult concept to set right to an audience of this kind. This is because a lot of presentations make it appear to be about order and disorder (where as this is only a common, but not universal, consequence of it). Unfortunately an "increase in disorder" fits with all sorts of notions such as the decline of the world after the "fall". I've seen many Creationists using it as scientific proof of their world view, i.e.
"Look the world really is decaying!"
