Abstract

Creationists recognize both degeneration and conservation processes in nature, emphasizing that natural order persists despite the second law of thermodynamics. The article questions whether chemical systems can spontaneously evolve to organized states and notes that while some processes increase organization without violating the second law, extrapolating these to explain the origin of life is unwarranted. The author also critiques the definition of organization, suggesting it is sometimes equated with dynamic confusion.
