If something is spinning around, and breaks apart, then all the parts continue to spin in the same direction.
When the big bang happened, and everything in the universe came together in a tiny tiny space so compact that the pressure was so great that it exploded. That was the big bang. Okay, the law of the conservation of angular momentum says that everything in that explosion must spin in the same direction. But, it does not. Some galaxies spin opposite from others, Some of the planets in our solar system and their moons spin in different directions. All this means is there was not a big bang. The big bang is a theory, the law of conservation of angular momentum is a "law". Big bang (theory) must yield to law.
Evolution supposedly started with the big bang.

The Thermodynamics argument has become a drinking game for all the times it has been debunked, derailed, and derided. Now Conservation of Angular Momentum...*that* sounds impressive. You get to string a few more words together to say not one god-**** thing. But, someone somewhere, who isn't familiar with physics of the algebra of this law, will fall for the blinding with science tactic. In short: more deception for the inexcusably ignorant and dishonest.

The Earth's rotation is a function of conservation of angular momentum (which is slowing very slightly due to tidal friction). The Earth's rotation in relation to the Sun and Moon cause the cycle of day and night and the tides. Creatures have adapted to make use of the day/night cycle and tides.

The law of conservation of angular momentum relates to physics and extremely large (universal) spaces. Evolution is a biological function of species differentiation. I'm not certain why you think they are interconnected. Physics and Biology are quite different areas of science, and specialists in both areas are truly rare.

it has NOTHING to do with evolution, however creationists try to use it against the big bang theory. they say that if a spinning singularity were to expand suddenly, that all of the galaxies and other bodies should be spinning in the same direction. as it happens, in a solar system alone, a few of the plants are spinning in the opposite direction of the majority. creationists then use this as "proof' against the big bang.
of course,, in reality,, angular momentum just doesn't tie in. galaxies, stars, and planets don't spin because the singularity they exploded from was spinning. rather,, they spin due to the gravity of other nearby galaxies, stars and planets. it's only normal for different bodies to be spinning in different directions.

Great question. I also wondered about the second law of thermal dynamics.

sheesh, everyone knows it's on the opposite page. you know. in that one book.
you do know about the book, right?
oh, crap.
gotta go.

It fits in the glove box, but you have to give it a shove.
