That might be the stupidest thing I've read in the last six months!

Just because we cannot create or destroy energy doesn't mean that the SUPER-NATURAL God can't do so! God isn't bound by the laws of physics!

DUH!
So, the case that rape cannot occur within a marital couple was less stupid?

Are you referring to my claim or the faux claim within used to make a point?

Just because entropy occurs in a closed system does not that it must in an open system.

Just because entropy occurs overall in a closed system, does not mean that there cannot be pockets within the closed system where energy maintains itself for a time.

See the point, Professor?

Wow. So you get to believe something without evidence and require precise rigor on the other side. Convenient. Lazy.
The existence of the orderly universe and life on earth proves the existence of God.

Romans 1

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,

Where would we find this "open system"?

How would "energy maintain itself"?

Energy maintains itself? Is that not similar to secularist assumptions that the universe created itself and keeps trillions of heavenly bodies in perpetual orbit without help from God?

You're begging the question. If God is real then the whole universe is obviously proof of Him, but that begs the question that God is real in the first place.

We share the same faith in Christ's death and Resurrection and we both believe the Bible literally.

Yes! Definitely!

I see that you can't tell when you've contradicted your own position!

Those who question the reality of God are on very distant terms with reality.

The current energy system of life on earth is not closed. The sun impacts the ecosystem in a fashion that reduces entropy.

See above. Also, chemical reactions can in a limited way produce temporary increases in energy withiin a particular interaction ( though waste products and overall entropy occurs over time.)
Is your PhD in comedy?
Yes. BTW, if he is the Professor, that makes you Gilligan.

That there is a supernatural realm.

Am I incorrect in believing that you hold to the notion that there is (or are at least aware of the concept of) a multiverse? Is that not a similar belief?

Also, the "supernatural realm" as you call it is simply "where" God exists, to use natural terms.

And yes, we do have evidence for such a realm. It's called the Bible.

You mean enzymes. Those things are magical. But they're made by DNA, so DNA is the real magic, enzymatic magic is just the magical residue left by DNA.

Nothing wrong with that reference.

Also as yet unproven.

Religious books carry no weight outside the religion.

Placing an explanation outside the bounds of our understood reality is no explanation at all. It's just a hypothesis with no operational definitions.

Utter and sheer nonsense. You seem to enjoy making unsubstantiated and scientifically false claims.

Those processes that defy entropy must already exist.

What good is saying books are of no value unless they are valuable? Religious books may or not be valuable but the Bible is God's word for those interested in knowing God. Science books may or may not be valuable depending on whether or not the information posited in them is correct.

Then you are not Gilligan. You are more like the ape or one of the head-hunters to be most accurate. You are not in the main cast and say little of consequence.
Do Darwinists believe humans were fathered by apes or that apes were fathered by humans?
