Discussion about scientific issues as they relate to God and Christianity including archaeology, origins of life, the universe, intelligent design, evolution, etc.

[This number is not based on some winding down of an entropy clock.] The sole reason for the inclusion of entropy seems to be to show that the Universe cannot be infinitely old. But this is already accepted. So the argument reduces to:

In this case, the Emperor is wearing way too many clothes.

I'm old enough to remember when the principle arguement against the "Big Bang" was that it was really an attempt to prove there was a God.
Times change. As to this entropy discussion, evolutionists could cite some examples of self organization as hurricanes and crystals etc. The only problem with these examples is that they are easily understood as resulting ftom known physical laws, while self organization of DNA is definitely not. Attempts to understand how dna could have self organized, are similar to trying to explain "Macbeth" by reference to the chemical bonds with paper and ink. The pressure to accept an intelligent designer becomes overwhelming.

It was understood that conserved code implied that the section of DNA was critical, thus the lack of changes through evolutionary time.

That was then (June 2004). What is now regarding what appears to involve 'Junk" DNA research?
