Evolution: Science or Philosophy

[_ID_]

I think I understand what your trying to say, that thermodynamics causes a species to mutate. Is that correct, cause I am not college educated, and some of your wording seemed to be dancing around the idea of evolution. If thermodynamics causes a species to mutate. Wouldn't that fit the definition of evolution?

Sorry abouit using big words, sometimes I get passionate about something and forget that not everyone is as knowledgeable as I am.

The Second law basicallly says that in any system order, and energy, always decrease. This is called entropy, and the maximum value for entropy means that there is there is no order or energy left. Picture a fire, that is the perfect example of the second law of thermodynamics. You start with a structure of logs, and end up with a pile of ashes.

Now do you see the problem with evolution? Somehow, in this balzing fire, random events came together to cause, not ashes, but gold. Something that could not happen has happened, and no one understands the implications.
