Human Growth


ABSTRACTS


DAVID A. KAUFMANN

A brief explanation of the two laws of thermodynamics is presented. Thermo II applies only to open systems, since there is no such thing in the real world as a closed system. The four criteria for increasing order in a system are presented by comparing a building, growing plant and growing animal. The failure of the evolution model to provide for a directing program and conversion mechanism to achieve order from disorder is noted, also the qualifying criteria for creative order and degeneration of the creation model was presented. Since the starting cell is more complex or at least equal in complexity than any cell in the mature organism, human growth and development are not violations of Thermo II. Although entropy is never zero, creationists should practice health fitness in order to decrease the rate of increase of entropy in their lives and to witness for the Gospel of Christ and its corollary doctrine of creation.
