Bir alıntı....
"-Certainly, many evolutionists claim that the 2nd Law doesn’t apply to open systems. But this is false. Dr John Ross of Harvard University states:
… there are no known violations of the second law of thermodynamics. Ordinarily the second law is stated for isolated systems, but the second law applies equally well to open systems. … There is somehow associated with the field of far-from-equilibrium thermodynamics the notion that the second law of thermodynamics fails for such systems. It is important to make sure that this error does not perpetuate itself.
-Your use of this quote is extremely misleading. You use it in such a way to suggest that evolutionists believe that the second law fails for some reason in regards to evolution. Anyone who would think the second law fails or can be dismissed is incorrect.
-Many evolutionists in our experience do claim this! One of our staff some years ago was confronted in a debate with the comment that the Second Law could not be applied to living things! As I said in my previous response, most leading evolutionists are not qualified in thermodynamics, so why should anyone be surprised that they make mistakes? Therefore my quote was not misleading in the context in which I quoted it.
-But the formation of proteins and nucleic acids from amino acids and nucleotides not only lowers their entropy, but it removes heat energy (and entropy) from their surroundings.
- I was discussing the spontaneous formation of biopolymers from standard concentrations of monomers. This would indeed decrease the entropy of both system and surroundings at any temperature, unlike crystals which increase the entropy of the surroundings below the freezing point by releasing the latent heat. I explain further in Origin of Life: The Polymerization Problem.
Rensberger also fails to distinguish between order and complexity. Crystals are ordered; life is complex. To illustrate: a periodic (repeating) signal, e.g. ABABABABABAB, is an example of order. However, it carries little information: only ‘AB’, and ‘print 6 times’.
A crystal is analogous to that sequence; it is a regular, repeating network of atoms. Like that sequence, a crystal contains little information: the co-ordinates of a few atoms (i.e. those which make up the unit cell), and instructions ‘more of the same’ x times. If a crystal is broken, smaller but otherwise identical crystals result. Conversely, breaking proteins, DNA or living structures results in destruction, because the information in them is greater than in their parts.
-So you’re saying that the difference between the information in a crystal and DNA is only that DNA’s information comes in large sections?
-That’s why we said that DNA has high information content, while a crystal has low information content. The generation of high specified complexity is a huge problem for evolution.
-If you break a molecule of NaCl, you will no longer have salt, …
-Correction: salt is an ionic solid, not a molecular one, so its smallest components are Na+ and Cl– ions, not NaCl ‘molecules’.
-… just as if you break a strand of DNA you will no longer have viable DNA
That part is right. But if you break up a large crystal of salt into smaller crystals, you still have salt. Another way of putting it is that the information needed to have Na+ and Cl– spontaneously form into a salt crystal is already inherent in the ingredients – nothing has to be imposed from the outside. But the raw ingredients of a protein (the amino acids) do not contain the ingredients necessary for a functional protein to spontaneously arise. So it is not just a matter of a ‘scale’ issue, i.e. the difference between crystallisation and spontaneous assembly of biopolymers is qualitative, not just quantitative.
-What about a crystal that is more than a single molecule in chemical makeup?
-The smallest unit of a crystal is often considered to be its unit cell, and the crystal is built up simply by repetitions of this by specific multiples of translation vectors. My own Ph.D. thesis included published papers on CuBrSe3 and CuISe3, and the latter has a very complex structure by normal inorganic chemical standards, with 18 formula units in each hexagonal unit cell, or six per rhombohedral unit cell (see diagram, right). But the information content of this is still tiny compared with that of DNA or most proteins.
