Thermodynamics

For more information, see the Wikipedia article:
Thermodynamics is the study of the transfer of heat energy. There are three main laws of thermodynamics, the second being frequently brought into arguments against evolution.

Laws
First
In any process, the total energy of the universe remains constant.
Second
There is no process that, operating in a cycle, produces no other effect than the subtraction of a positive amount of heat from a reservoir and the production of an equal amount of work.
Third
As temperature approaches absolute zero, the entropy of a system approaches a constant.
Alternative descriptions
The laws of thermodynamics have also been described in a tongue-in-cheek way as:
- You can't win.
- You can't break even.
- And you can't get out of the game.
Apologetics
Creationists claim that evolution is impossible because the second law of thermodynamics does not allow an unguided increase in complexity.
Counter-apologetics
