[net.origins] The Scientific case...

Some thoughts:

Yes, but these can also be the result of natural phenomomena.  Example,
when you fly to the other side of the world, your clock gets messed up,
but eventually it gets back in sync  Biological clocks can be as much
the result of an organisms adaptation as the "design" of a supernatural
creator. Experiments even show that DNA could ( and proabably did!)
have formed naturally.

Evolutionary theory says nothing about the ORIGIN of the earth, it
never has.  It only hypothesizes that certain MECHANISMS have brought
the earth to its current state.  It is not a theory of ORIGINS.

Oh, state the second law...ask a physicist how it supports creationism.
