Are You Looking for the Simplest and Clearest Argument for Intelligent Design?


Evolution is a Natural Process Running Backward


Are You Looking for the Simplest and Clearest Argument for Intelligent Design?



Here is an article form Granville Sewell: "Can ANYTHING Happen in an Open System?

Mathematicians are trained to value simplicity. When we have a simple, clear proof of a theorem, and a long, complicated, counter-argument, full of hotly debated and unverifiable points, we accept the simple proof, even before we find the errors in the complicated argument. That is why I prefer not to extend here the long-standing debate over the first point [irreducible complexity], but to dwell further on the much simpler and clearer second point of my article, which is that the increase in order observed on Earth (and here alone, as far as we know) violates the laws of probability and the second law of thermodynamics in a spectacular fashion.
Evolutionists have always dismissed this argument by saying that the second law of thermodynamics only dictates that order cannot increase in an isolated (closed) system, and the Earth is not a closed system -- in particular, it receives energy from the Sun. The second law allows order to increase locally, provided the local increase is offset by an equal or greater decrease in the rest of the universe. This always seems to be the end of the argument: order can increase (entropy can decrease) in an open system, therefore, ANYTHING can happen in an open system, even the rearrangement of atoms into computers, without violating the second law.


Sewell is signatory to the Discovery Institute's A Scientific Dissent from Darwinism petition. In 2000 Sewell compared the lifelong development of his state of the art software program with Darwin's predictions.
