The second law of thermodynamics states that although the amount of energy remains constant, the amount of usable energy is constantly decreasing. The law also implies that ordered systems become more disordered over time, unless energy is supplied and directed to creature order. Creationists believe that the second law of thermodynamics does not permit order to arise from disorder, and therefore the macroevolution of complex living things from single-celled ancestors could not have …show more content…
"Every exchange in nature that takes place spontaneously always results in a loss of order. Natural selection always occurs in such a way that the complex tends to become less complex, order states tend to become disorder. Therefore, the universe is constantly becoming more disorder." (4).
Another argument with the second law of thermodynamics is that Creationists say that the second law states that the entropy of a closed system increases over time. Closed system means that the earth receives limited energy from the sun. The creationist argument is based on their interpretation of the relationship of entropy, which is a measure of randomness, or of the degree of a system's disorder. Creationists assume that a change characterized by a decrease in entropy cannot occur under any circumstances and spontaneous entropy decreases can, occur all the time, providing that sufficient energy is
