More on the second law of thermodynamics

There are a couple of misconceptions about the second law of thermodynamics that need constant correcting:

  • Shuffled cards, messy desks, and disorderly dorm rooms are examples of entropy increase. Nonsense!


  • Evolution violates the second law of thermodynamics. Nonsense!


  • Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul.
    I will praise the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
    Do not put your trust in princes, in mortal men, who cannot save.
    When their spirit departs, they return to the ground; on that very day their plans come to nothing. --Psalm 146:1-4 NIV
