Dr. Joseph Mastropaolo, Ph.D., professor emeritus, California State University, Long Beach, wrote to Orange County Register as follows:
The debate referred to in the article, “Kansas will revive evolution debate” [News, April27], is not between evolution and creationism.
The debate is between the anti-science of evolution and the science of devolution.
Evolution is anti-science because it is the exact opposite of reality. The entire universe is devolving, always has been and always will be. No animate or inanimate object can build itself or change itself to any other object, as the evolutionists teach. Engineering is required.
Living things die; that is devolution. No chemicals spring to life. Every ape-man is a fraud or forgery.

"Dr." Joseph Mastropaolo is a creationist activist. He's also a raving looney who doesn't understand science. He likes to challange actual scientists to debates and when they ignore him he declares himself the winner.

No, I didn't know, and it's wrong. What that crackpot (Ph.D. in Kinesiology, aka the study of human movement) is saying is that entropy rules. Well, it does rule, but entropy can be locally trumped as long as entropy elsewhere increases. Note how highly organized ice crystals are, even simple molecules vs. dispersed gases. The fundamental forces of nature literally force order into the universe, but the order occurs with a cost elsewhere in the universe. *The processes available on the early Earth and in biology allow order to develop BECAUSE they decrease order elsewhere.* Think about how much disorder you create just by living, all the animal and plant matter whose order you have completely dismantled and turned into heat, which disorders the environment around you when you radiate that heat. If he was right, entropy should prevent even biological reproduction. It doesn't. It should prevent lab tests which show that some clays catalyze RNA synthesis, or growing and dividing lipid bubbles. But we know they exist.
The so-called 'science of devolution' is propagated by those who do not understand the laws of thermodynamics OR evolution.

Evolution is based on the fact that new species develop.
Yes species die and that is de-evolution.. but there are fewer extinctions than creations..
Therefore, the evolution theory is correct and based on fact.

the science of devolution is the new name for creationism.

That is quite true. Our DNA can only lose information, not gain it.

Life can and does evolve. I feel it in myself every day. Don't you?
