Episode 138: Thermodynamics: Are Evolutionists Spitting Against the Wind? (4 of 4)

 

AW Wilder-Smith Smith, a brilliant scientist with three PhD’s in the biological field, clarifies that the spontaneous synthesis of life’s building blocks, and embedding of information within life, is made absolutely impossible by the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

The second law of thermodynamics builds upon the First law by stating that all energy, which according to the first law cannot be created or destroyed, experiences a universal process of change, and it is a directional change, but it is not an upward change.

Episode 136: Thermodynamics: Are Evolutionists Spitting Against the Wind? (2 of 4)

We left off last time with the clear statements in Scripture that all things wer created and have been hurled into a downward spiral of devolution and death. These Biblical realities are heavily demonstrated by the laws of thermodynamics.
