THE END OF EVOLUTION?

Ok, I've read the article in Time... ...and I have to ask, WTF? Did you read the same article? Just what the hell are you talking about?If your question is simply 'does evolution comply with the 2LoT?' then the answer is equally simply 'yes'.

No, it isn't a response, careless or otherwise. It merely mentions their decision as it was recent news that involved evolution By whom? An isolated system will do so (though I have to ask - an equilibrium of what?) To what isolated system are you referring?

Total assertion on your part, and utterly false. Total assertion on your part, and utterly false. This statement betrays an unbelievable level of ignorance and makes me seriously doubt your claim to have two 'degrees'. No, it is not. This merely provides unquestionable evidence that you have no clue as to what is meant by 'equilibrium'.

Unfortunately, you have no topic to discuss given your woeful lack of knowledge regarding the subjects that have been raised. Perhaps you can start again and describe exactly what issue you had in mind. Was it the current state of human evolution? Or something to do with thermodynamics? Or the 'unfounded assumptions' that lie behind the entire fields of biology and geology? Or are you just a little bit confused? I'm going to bed. Perhaps you can be less confused by the morning?

There is as much idiocy written about thermodynamics as quantum mechanics, and I can see that it is only increasing here... Stop reading nonsense and then regurgitating it as if you have some authority. Some of us actually understand the subject and I can assure you that the 2ndLoT is as much an obstacle to evolution as it is to the formation of snowflakes, stars, basalt columns, and the layered distribution of my cornflakes in the packet - i.e. it isn't in any way, shape, or form, and anyone with an ounce of credibility with the subject realises this. But hey, who I am to say people can't spout ignorant bullshit about hard science and make complete arses of themselves?

oh boy, we got a live one. Unbelievably off-topic, but I do not make "claims" in this area, as anyone at EvC with more than a scraping of neural matter appreciates. Out of interest, to which type of 'mass' are you referring? I may be wrong, but I will pay 200 GBP to AIDS research if you can find anywhere at EvC I have ever said that "mass increases with velocity" without qualification of what I meant by "mass". But I do appreciate that this is all probably a bit beyond you, so please feel free to ignore the challenge back to the topic: No? So the informational structure of the water molecule is not inherited into the structure of the snowflake? Really? Oh, you are so close... so close to understanding, but your "stupidity" prevents you from seeing. Where do you think the information in the genome has come from? You think it is any different to the snowflake? Hmmm - chemical composition + environment... A powerful combination. On the contrary, it has EVERYTHING to do with what you are talking about. The fact that you don't see it simply demonstrates your inability to understand the subject. But evolution is "magic", right? Ooh, do I have so much of an impact? Wow, I'm impressed. I guess my belittling in the face of abject idiocy is far more worthwhile than I would have ever credited. You have certainly enacted your right enough times, and I am exercising my right to not ignore it. Where's the fun in someone making an arse out of themselves if I'm not there to heckle

You're talking to one So that would be a bit pointless... though I don't get paid to do it any more, so the cash would come in handy
