It does not. According to your logic it is impossible for you to clean your room, because the entropy of your room would decrease. What you are not taking into account is that regional entropy can decrease, and in doing so the entropy in the universe will increase. All that the law of entropy says that the disorder of the universe will always increase, but the universe is not contained wholly in the life forms of the planet. It says that to order anything in the universe energy must be expended and that creates disorder elsewhere.

And humans are not "degrading," not that your specific definition of degrading is given to us.


Anyway, it seems to me that some combination of evolution theory and creationism is gaining some strength among christians. The theory of 'intelligent design.' It does not follow the bible word for word, but it does make some sense to christians with a functioning sense of logic.
