"Creationists originally argued that a decrease in entropy is exactly what evolution requires, hence the conflict with the second law. This argument was used in an article by Dr. Morris of the Institute for Creation Research (ICR) as late as 1973. As is the usual practice among creationists, he tried to support it with out-of-context quotations from the writings of respected

I don't remember reading that article. But I may have. Thanks for the creation re-cap.

I was not suggesting they be idle.
They are the only connection God has to our world.
The rest is left to Satan.

it depends on whether or not the relevant spiritual servants are righteous - there were many unrighteous till now

what makes you think all people that are not spiritual servants belong to satan just because they are not spiritual servants?!

9 Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others? No, not at all,
for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles,
c are under the power of sin.

10As the Scriptures say,
“No one is righteous—
not even one.

the case in point is the spiritual iniquity/lawlessness, that is why St Paul says below: "Now we know that whatever the law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be shut and the whole world may become subject to God's judgment."(Rom 3:19), because the spiritual iniquity/lawlessness is the original sin and the very sin which is the cause and the source of all other iniquities and evils, and which made so many people be unrighteous and ill-affected, that's also why the word is actually not "gentiles" (in the 9th verse), but "hellenes", which refers to the theistic philosophy

this is about the followers/worshipers of human(666) religion, because how would you say that the Saints shown in the Bible or the Holy Angels of God in the "Heaven" are not righteous?!

Angles basically don't exist. Jesus' disciples teach us that they are unrighteous in the passage quoted. I have no idea if you consider the disciples to be saints or not.

9 Well then, should we conclude that we Jews are better than others? No, not at all,
for we have already shown that all people, whether Jews or Gentiles, care under the power of sin.

it is about repentance primarily and mostly from the spiritual iniquity/lawlessness, because St Paul talks about the unrighteousness that some people were inclined to do in the faith, but the believers/worshipers/clerics should be righteous, and not sinful

1 John 2:29 "If ye know that he is righteous, ye know that every one that doeth righteousness is born of him.",

1 John 3:7-10 "Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.",

Romans 6:15-23 "What then? shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid. Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness? But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.",

Hebrews 3:16-19 "For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that came out of Egypt by Moses. But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.",

Hebrews 10:26-27 "For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.",

Revelation 22:11 "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still: and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still: and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still: and he that is holy, let him be holy still."

10As the Scriptures say,
“No one is righteous—
not even one.

the Holy scriptures need to be right(ly) understood, they are like a field that needs to be tilled, and the written therein is like a seed that needs to be cultivated or a raw material that needs to be processed, for example in the aforementioned case the Prophets connotate the need of repentance on the part of the world of human religion, because it is about the popular/widespread religion whose way is broad, and many choose it, but it often turns out to be too misleading because is usually accompanied by too misleading conditions

Matthew 7:13-14 "Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.",

2 Peter 3:15-16 "our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."

Let's just stick to "righteous" for the moment rather than how stupid everyone else is.

Yes, that has been my conclusion as well.
Even Jesus did not accept the badge of honor.

17As He was setting out on a journey, a man ran up to Him and knelt before Him, and asked Him, "Good Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
18And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

and did Jesus Christ or any one of the Holy Apostles say that we(the humans) are evil and cannot be good (ever)?!, or did He say that we must be evil and not good?!

Yes. Not ever.

He said we cannot be good, and will sin and will be judged as sinners.
24and are justified by his grace as a gift,

Not of our own efforts. Try reading the manual.

18And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone."
23for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
