Evolution and Entropy

If entropy were true, an organism like amoeba would evolve into a quark over time rather than becoming a more complex organism per each evolutionary iteration.

Although I would venture that a proton might be the evolutionary high point of an amoeba and not a quark because protons have an infinite decay time. Therefore, amoebas can thank evolution for that.

Um, what? That’s a total misunderstanding of entropy.

This, as well as @lightstorm’s other topics, look to be intentional nonsense. eg…

When the sun runs out fuel it would expand and die leaving the earth scorched without life and water. Christians would have to build a very “large structure” near the Oort Cloud so they wait out for earth to cool and return to repopulate earth with life via global flood lights and this is when Jesus might return.

PS: I want to call this large structure Stephonia.

A mass “in” a moving train is heavier but there is no way the embankment frame can falsify or prove it.

This would be theoretically true, if no new energy were being added to the system. However, since the Sun keeps adding energy to the Earth’s ecosystems, there exists a means for matter to become more complicated, rather than collapse.

Not to mention - no demonstrated understanding of evolution.

Entropy applies to amoebas as much as it does to thermodynamics. Um, yep.

What part of my post here was intentional nonsense?

Everything decays, even amoebas. But an amoeba does not become a complex organism with sunlight and nutrients. It will always remain an amoeba that’s well fed. Until it turns into “a” or many protons that live forever whether there is sunlight or not or nutrients.

Edit: I just realised that they will make copies of themselves with sunlight and nutrients. There is potential physics and chemistry for chemical bonds to develop between amoebas to form a complex organism that is made of billions of amoebas given the right proximity.

I think it’s plausible physics. But I don’t recall learning this in school.

Entropy applies to interactions between particles and to closed systems. An amoeba is neither.

Entropy is the idea that disorder increases over time and not the other way around. So yes amoebas suffer from entropy too. They decay into protons one day.

You moved the goalpost.

Um, no, they decay into constituent molecules, which may or may not decay into constituent elements, etc. And BTW, protons are not the end of the process, there are companion particles – may as well say they decay into photons.

Slow claps.
