What is Evolution?

[Papias]

Hami, you and I were discussing the deceptive practice of quoteming in the other thread. Did you see post #34 on this thread: http://www.christianforums.com/t7497864-4/? I haven't seen a response from you.

Thanks-

Firstly, I believe in the love of the Messiah too!

Now: What happens when, in my brain, I think up a new idea?

Has the entropy of the universe decreased, stayed constant, or increased?

Has the entropy of my brain decreased, stayed constant, or increased?

That would have to happen first.
Let us know and I'll see if it's new one.

I'll just have you know the feeling's mutual.

How much energy does it take to change a single nucleotide?

How much energy goes through the nucleus of a cell in any given day?

Exactly the right question. And ill take a guess that the Q involved in changing nucleotides is probably orders of magnitude less than many metabolic functions involved in daily existence of an organism. The local entropy decrease in a mutation(at the genetic level) is probably much less than many of the local entropy decreases involved in say...... a heartbeat. Just taking a quick stab.

If anything involved in a mutation even is a decrease in entropy at all, and that im not even sure of.
