Second Law of Thermodynamics (1850). R.J.E. Clausius stated the law of entropy: All systems will tend toward the most mathematically probable state, and eventually become totally random and disorganized (*Harold Blum, Time’s Arrow and Evolution, 1968, p. 201). In other words, everything runs down, wears out, and goes to pieces (*R.R. Kindsay, "Physics: to What Extent is it Deterministic," American Scientist 56, 1968, p. 100). This law totally eliminates the basic evolutionary theory that simple evolves into complex. *Einstein said the two laws were the most enduring laws he knew of (*Jeremy Rifkin, Entropy: A New World View, 1980, p. 6).

our daily lives are surrounded by entropic events. some huge like a plane crash, some tiny like dust collecting on the dash of your car or rust forming on your bumper.
no matter how hard we try, we can't get away from it. so how do we go from lightening striking earthen soup that then develops into all manner of complexity? this is so far fetched that it can not stand a quantum of scientific scrutiny.
