How's this for a blunt statement:
Rick Hawkins does not understand thermodynamics.

3D The transition from order to disorder. Life requires/is characterized by
3D order.

Life is characterized by LOCAL order. Life dumps a load of disorder on
the universe. The net is disorder. (Keep track of what happens to
all the energy that gets used, and where it goes)

Anyway, the argument is that life is characterized by order and that thermodynamics calls for a decrease in order of the closed system. I'm not trying to support the position, I was interested in seeing discussion about it. I think that I first saw this notion in a science textbook (chemistry or physics). [not in defense of creationism, just as an observation]. I'm rambling. The point is that I should have stated that that was the argument, or better yet kept my yap shut. Similarly, I'm not going to argue for or against the value of c changing over time. I would like, however, to see the discussions. I suppose that I should state my own position while I am at it. I really don't find the issue that important--I am much more concerned about *why* He created the universe than *how* He did it. As far as I'm concerned, there is no question as to whether or not He did it. Anyway, the next time I toss something out for the sake of argument without the intention or ability to support the position, I'll be careful to say so. -- rick (Rick Hawkins @ Olivetti ATC) [hplabs|zehntel|fortune|ios|tolerant|allegra|tymix]!oliveb!oliven!hawk
