Evolution is Impossible...a reasoned set of arguments about Thermodynamics and the Origin of the Universe
Some of the smartest people in the world believe in evolution with all their might. However, the operative word is "believe!" When we examine the scientific evidence for evolution, the basis for their belief is very hard to find. If you did not have an agenda and simply looked at evidence, you might well say that it is impossible!
Evolution is not just a term used in biology. It is also used in cosmology. There is an assertion by naturalistic materialists that every object in the Universe got there by natural means and that the very Universe itself evolved - The Big Bang is primarily an hypothesis believed by Darwinists even though the implications of the Universe having had a start winds up biting them in the butt. They simply have not thought it through. But perhaps this article will help?
Apologetics Press prefers that we do not alter their articles if we publish them. Therefore I will not blue the quotes. So here is the first argument against evolution. Evolution defies one of the basic laws of science - Thermodynamics! If you want to see the logical conclusion to this argument, kindly be sure to go all the way down to the very end.
Stephen Hawking said, “Bodies such as stars or black holes cannot just appear out of nothing. But a whole universe can…. Because there is a law like gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.”
How can someone so smart say something so incredibly foolish? Because as one scientist/writer explained, "Cosmology is not even Astrophysics!"
The problem with Big Bang salesmen-scientists like Stephen Hawking is their failure to logically understand the lack of existence before the beginning of existence aka the beginning of the Universe. They believe that the laws of nature were in place, and yet before the Universe existed there would be absolutely nothing, including physical laws. Gravity cannot be without mass and mass cannot be if there is no such thing as "be."
Such men, deluded even if intelligent, fail to comprehend the lack of existence and instead conceive of zero instead. Zero is not nothing, it is simply a number that represents an amount of something and can easily be represented with mathematics as very arguably SOMETHING! One minus one equals zero. Knowing this, and having a grasp on the improbable and inexplicable action of subatomic particles as Quantum Mechanics has discovered, the deluded Darwinist will simply say that minus energy and mass existed in an exact balance with plus energy and mass and this sum of positive and negative something added up to zero. When it ceased to be zero by some means, then zero which they pretend is nothing is then claimed to have exploded by unknown means and unknown oversight into everything. The fact that 96% of the matter and energy that would be expected to be detected if there was any truth to their assertions is simply never detected fails to slow them down. Virtually any ridiculous and far-fetched assertion is accepted as long as a non-God beginning of the Universe winds up at the end of the hypothesis.
If I took a blank piece of paper and showed it to you and asked you what was written on it, you would almost certainly look carefully and then reply, "Nothing." However, if I took a pen and wrote a 0 on that paper, you would then tell me there was something on there. You would probably say either "Zero" or identify it as the letter, "O." You would recognize there is indeed something written on the paper.
Before the Universe existed, there was not zero energy, there was no such thing as energy. There was not zero matter, there was no such thing as matter. Not only was there no marks on the paper, so to speak, there was no paper. If you can wrap your head around the concept, there was not even nothing because God had not yet formed things and so there was no such thing as a lack of things. There was no time, no physical laws, no gravity, no mass, no material existence. The millions of otherwise intelligent people who fail to understand that the material world cannot be all there is because it could not have made itself and is not eternal is sad in the extreme.
The Universe needed a Universe-Maker. We call Him God.

Evolution and the Laws of Science: The Laws of Thermodynamics
| by | Jeff Miller, Ph.D. |
“[T]he principles of thermodynamics have been in existence since the creation of the universe” (Cengel and Boles, 2002, p. 2, emp. added). So states a prominent textbook used in schools of engineering across America. Indeed, these principles prove themselves to be absolutely critical in today’s science world. Much of the engineering technology available today is based on the foundational truths embodied in the Laws of Thermodynamics. As the writers of one engineering thermodynamics textbook stated: “Energy is a fundamental concept of thermodynamics and one of the most significant aspects of engineering analysis” (Moran and Shapiro, 2000, p. 35). Do these laws have application to the creation/evolution debate as creationists suggest? What do they actually say and mean?
The word “thermodynamics” originally was used in a publication by Lord Kelvin (formerly William Thomson), the man often called the Father of Thermodynamics because of his articulation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics in 1849 (Cengel and Boles, p. 2). The term comes from two Greek words: therme, meaning “heat,” and dunamis, meaning “force” or “power” (American Heritage..., 2000, pp. 558,1795). Thermodynamics can be summarized essentially as the science of energy—including heat, work (defined as the energy required to move a force a certain distance), potential energy, internal energy, and kinetic energy. The basic principles and laws of thermodynamics are understood thoroughly today by the scientific community. Thus, the majority of the work with the principles of thermodynamics is done by engineers who simply utilize the already understood principles in their designs. A thorough understanding of the principles of thermodynamics which govern our Universe can help an engineer to learn effectively to control the impact of heat in his/her designs.
