Thus, we find that life really is not increasing in complexity contrary to the second law of thermodynamics. Rather adult organisms are simply the unfolding, outward expression of the preexisting order in the genes. The blueprints for the growth and development of the adult organism were already present in the genes of the parents. The origin of life from this preexisting design in DNA does not present any difficulty for the creationist. The evolutionist, however, finds himself faced with an indomitable problem. How did life begin without the pre-existence of such intelligent order and design? This question must forever haunt the atheistic evolutionist.

It should also be noted that apparent decreases of entropy can only be produced at the expense of a still greater increase of entropy in the external environment. Thus, the entire system as a whole continues to run down as required by the second law of thermodynamics. Furthermore, such processes are only temporary and eventually succumb to the second law. Life-forms attempt to postpone the second law of thermodynamics, but entropy eventually wins out. After all, biological systems and processes are merely complex chemical and physical processes, and to these the laws of thermodynamics do certainly apply. Dr. Harold Blum, an evolutionary biochemist, has recognized this fact and writes: “No matter how carefully we examine the energetics of living systems we find no evidence of defeat of thermodynamic principles, but we do encounter a degree of complexity not witnessed in the non-living world.”[4]

Thus, we find that the second law of thermodynamics prohibits the possibility of organic evolution. The creation model, however, predicts that the second law of thermodynamics will be operative and is thus, once again, substantiated by the facts of science.
