I don't see that the man's statement that he is a Christian gives his argument regarding the Second Law any added validity , does it?
Not sure why that's relevant at all.
Hope you're having a great day.
Straw man, rl - the relevance to the 2nd law is the author's established credentials as a degreed, working thermodynamicist - one who, at Doctoral level, works with - understands - thermodynamics, one who knows what he is talking about when it comes to thermodynamics. The relevance of his self-professed Christianity is simply that he is a self-professed Christian - however, if you examine other of his writings, you will see it appears he has a solid, working knowledge of Theology and The Bible, too - but that's purely incidental to his qualifications as a Doctorally Degreed, Working Thermodynamicist who blows the bullshit, ignorant, dishonest, absurd Creationist/ID-iot 2nd Law nonsesnse out of the water.
