A few days ago I was glancing around at True.Origin.org and Answersingenesis.org and I was shocked to find that they are still using the 2nd law of thermodynamics as evidence against evolution. One would think that all of the intelligent creationists had given up on this argument years ago, but astoundingly that is not the case. I can only think of three reasons why this might be.
1: The 2nd law does indeed prevent evolution, and they are entirely right. (I don't think so. Both of these sites admit that evolution can happen in an open system, just as long as an organism has a mechanism for storing and converting the energy)
2: The dudes at True.Origin and AiG do not understand evolution and thermodynamics. (Maybe, especially in the case of True.Origin. The dude who wrote the article about the subject on True.Origin confused complexity with order.)
3: True.Origin and AiG are trying to decieve whoever reads their articles. (In the case of AiG, probably. AiG still uses the magnetic field argument as evidence for a young-earth.)
