But, I can understand why someone would find truth in macroevolution (Darwinian style) where a creator provided the material and then nature took charge. I don't agree with it, but I do understand how such an idea could come about.
See that's where you have gotten it wrong about science--there IS NO SUCH THING AS SPONTANEOUS PRODUCTION!!! That's why everyone HATED Pasteur because he said it was because microorganisms were causing these illnesses from the food and they did not come from out of nowwhere, they were already in the food--hence Pasteurization of milk is important...

The first thing you learn mainly in physics, then in chemistry is the LAWS of Thermodynamics... Now, you'd be a STOOPID biologist if you did not know those LAWS to it's exactitude... NO ONE would respect you if you didn't know these...

When you have a LAW in science, it is ABSOLUTE TRUTH, it has been held true for many years, there is no deviation from it, you cannot argue with it, these are proven mathematically...

(Not saying God can't bend the laws... But we are not talking about the 9th dimension here, we are talking about 4 dimensions: length, width, heigth and time).

First Law of Thermodynamics:

Matter is neither created or destroyed, it just changes from one form into another...

Second Law of Thermodynamics:

Matter is moving from a state of organization to disorganization or entropy (S)

We us the calculation is of the Gibbs' Free Energy to symbolize these processes:

DG = DH - TDS

Why is that important in biology--well that is how enzymatic processes work--basic biochemical reactions...
