Hello Everyone.
Well I hope everyone has had a good first week of the New Year. I am determined that this is going to be a great year for us.
I have a good feeling.
Interesting bit of news, Scientists have discovered that the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics doesn't always hold true in a closed system.
This is a very handy bit of information to have tucked under your hat when dealing with those pesky religious creationist friends and family. Not that it really means anything anyway because the universe isn't a closed system and there is negative entropy going on all over the place all the time. For those of you who know no creationists and can remain blissfully unaware of their arguments, one of the cornerstones of their argument is that, in nature, everything falls towards decay, energy moves from a concentrated area to become dispersed evenly, energy is lost which is called entropy yada yada yada.
Basically this means that order cannot come from chaos therefore the order we see on earth, living things etc, must have been divinely created. The only problem is the second law of thermodynamics is actually that energy tends to spontaneously disperse in a closed system. Not an open system.
Still this bit of news is interesting. I don't like joining in religious debates, I don't like trying to prove people wrong but I do like it when people get to learn something new.
By the way, unlike the earlier Ramadan For Hedonists entry, there was no humor used in this journal entry. Creationists can feel free to be offended by todays entry and post comments in my forum.
Okay I am off to work on my table (pics coming soon). Later. PS. Friday night was the Rant Radio reunion. It was fun to see everyone and once again make almost no contribution to the evenings conversations. Microphones instantly quadruple my heartrate and quarter my IQ. I hate them. Oh well.
