4.3 LIES

I have had some very strange comments about what is 'design' so that comes up next.. But first we must get the thermodynamics straight.. Let us start with an approximately CLOSED SYSTEM. As in all experimental work.. there are no perfectly closed systems but we can approximate one and get the calculations to work quite well.. Consider a well insulated box with a removable partition.. Hot mass left.. Cold mass to right..

{ [ 200 deg ]  |  [  0 deg  ] }  =>  { [ 190 deg ]  Q=>  [  10 deg  ] }..

which becomes    { [ 100 deg ]   [ 100 deg ] }    for equal masses..

When we remove the insulated partition a quantity of heat Q will flow from left to right until the temperatures of the two masses are equal and there it will remain.. which is called equilibrium. After which we will never observe either side become hot while the other gets cool because it would violate the 2nd Law of thermodynamics.. even though this is physically possible.! Why.. its just too improbable. Which establishes the true basis of the 2nd Law.. probability. Heat or any form of energy 'flows' because there are more ways energy can be spread out than be gathered together. We can simply state the 2nd Law as (it used to be stated until recent confusion set in)..

All systems of particles left to themselves will tend to move to their most probable state..

The law is also stated as "entropy always increases in an isolated system". If we now define entropy from this probabilistic basis as a measure of disorder, this immediately gives us a definition of ORDER = IMPROBABLE.. Hot on one side and cold on the other is an ordered state of matter.. The 2nd Law simply says systems left to themselves tend to disorder.. So you may ask where are the lies..?

The lies are to be found here.. [http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/thermo/entropy.html] the atheist propaganda page.. Where they assert..
"But what of entropy and disorder? Where does that identification fit into the structure of thermodynamics? The answer is, nowhere. It is not an axiom or first principle, it is not derived from any other basic principles, and nowhere is it required or even used at all to do any of the science to which thermodynamics applies. It is simply irrelevant and out of place except as an interesting aside."

While correct to say the concept of entropy as a measure of disorder is not used in practical thermodynamics it is incorrect to say "It is not an axiom or first principle" it most definitely is. The simple reason its not used is Boltzmann's equation for absolute entropy based solely on the probability of a state of matter existing can't be calculated. We would have to know the momentum and position of every atom in the system.! So how is it relevant..?
