this does not have to degrade into name calling..
Good point. However, the laws of thermodynamics (especially when you throw entropy in the mix) can be applied to either side of the argument. We all know that left to itself, everything eventually decays. We all also know that life could not exist if that were true. So how is this applied? It can work for both sides of the argument and the debate of closed systems and open systems is arguable as well. In reality, there is no closed system because everything in the universe affects everything else. The key is energy and transference in quantity.

My argument is that a person cannot say that the creationist theory is not true because it just isn't no more than a person can say that the evolutionist theory is not true because they say it is not. Both have valid arguments. And both deserve study.
