real life,
Why are you using a subtopic of one scientific discipline to criticize a subtopic in a different scientific discipline?

The laws of thermodynamics apply and are relevant to all systems, are they not?

The Darwin Medal (1890)[/color]

A silver medal is given biennially (in even years) in reward for work of acknowledged distinction in the broad area of biology in which Charles Darwin worked, notably in evolution, population biology, organismal biology and biological diversity. A gift of £1000 accompanies the medal.

In both 1982 and 2002, the medal was awarded to a husband and wife team. In 1982 this was John and Yolande Heslop-Harris.The 2006 Darwin medal was awarded to Professor Nick Barton for his major and extensive contributions to evolutionary biology, characterised by the application of sophisticated mathematical analysis but focussed on developing biological understanding rather than mathematical niceties.

'...it is of course a tremendous thrill to have been awarded a medal named after Charles Darwin, the greatest evolutionist of us all. The medal has been awarded to many very eminent people in the field, with whom I would hardly compare myself in terms of level of achievement.' Brian Charlesworth (Winner, 2000)

I would like to know if you agree that the 2nd Law applies to all systems; or if you share the opinion of many other evolutionists, that the 2nd Law does NOT apply to 'open systems' , and hence to ANY system in the universe.

The laws of thermodynamics apply to non-living matter. It would take a lot of convoluted word games to apply the same laws to biological organisms.

Did the laws of thermodynamics apply to non-living chemicals prior to the time that life supposedly was spontaneously generated on Earth?

To be honest, real life, I am not qualified to comment on that.

I rely on experts when reading about a specialized topic. I also feel it is better to read more than one source on any topic.
