1.1 The Problem

It is said that 'truth' is the first casualty in war.. well in connection with the confrontation between creationists and evolutionists.. that is no overstatement.. it is a war, which will be fought to the metaphorical 'death' of one or the other. I don't like to can anyone as an 'ist' but in this case there is no simpler way to put it. There are lots of people who don't fit either but these are the key players.

I want the TRUTH. I don't hide my theistic world view, just lower its flag (to half mast if you like)... remembering the poor buggers who fall attempting to advance under a hail of misinformation or get left disfigured by the shrapnel from massive deceit). Its no compromise for me because God, according to the bible is the truth. So my aim is to simplify technical jargon, eliminate technobabble and expose what is false.

Academic papers are privy to the person who writes them and the organisation for whom they work. As such unless you are 'in the club' you cannot get easy access to such other than the published abstract or when a book or appropriate magazine article is published giving that information. However the Wikipedia is the place where the battle generates the most 'heat'.. and one particular subject is pivotal to victory or defeat.. The Second Law of Thermodynamics. This is the 'Hastings' for the empire of secular science based on Darwinian Evolution.

There are a number of key words for which a clear and unambiguous definition is pivotal to the understanding this law.. Entropy is one. In the Wikipedia the topics are.. Entropy, Introduction to Entropy, Entropy Disambiguation and in a Plain English version.. here are some quotes.
 
Introduction to Entropy
First Paragraph
"... I think the present (9 am PST, 26 October is good, but too dense, too many ideas per paragraph ..."

Entropy what is it?
"What IS entropy? I want to have a simple definition: Entropy is "blah and blah". I do not care about what it is "central" to, or what it is "related" to. "Entropy is a thermodynamic quantity" is a good start - but it says nothing as to what it MEANS."

You get the picture..
