According to entropy law, an existance left in nature , diffuses, decomposes, molders and perishes...
i.e. if you leave a car in a forest for 2 months, you cant find it clean, bright,, but undirty, rusty..etc
if you leave an apple on earth, it decomposes after time...
How come life could evolve from a single cell to this perfection , with thousands of species without a Creator ?

The problem is ;
How did a single cell in nature became thousands of species , wonderful animals& plants, even billionXbillion years passed over it , do you really believe it is possible ?
check this example my "clever" evolutionists
" You leave a dough somewhere, After time by the help of sunlight, water,heat, and by long looong time it became biscuit,bread,flan,pie,etc. etc. etc..."by itself"!!!!!
Can you believe this comedy, are you too ridiculous to believe this or your brain is composed to "entopy law"
I can't believe how some people still emerge and say "I believe in evolution"..
and try to base this rotten ideas on science.
Science is realy really ashamed of this " evolution ideas"

All the answers so far are right ... and you are wrong.

The "entropy law" refers to the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, which refers to the increase in entropy in a *closed* thermodynamic system. But neither life in an organism, nor the totality of life on earth is a *closed* thermodynamic system ... both have an external energy source that provides input to the system ... an an energy source makes all the difference in the world. (That's why a car rusts in a forest ... it has no way of converting that energy into a form needed to battle entropy.)

And your dough example is a bad one. If you leave dough in the sun, then absolutely YES it becomes bread. The dough rises, and the result represents a decrease in entropy within the dough. Why? Because there is yeast in the bread that can convert heat energy. Why is that so baffling to you? Why do you call it a "comedy"?

Seriously ... this "entropy law" argument is a classically BAD creationist argument based on a truly BAD understanding of science. You only look foolish when you repeat it in a forum where people actually know what 'entropy' is and what 'thermodyamics' is.

You have indeed been duped. These creationist web sites you are reading are giving you BAD information so that you can walk into a science forum and repeat BAD science. Rather than help the cause of creationism, it reinforces the image that belief in creationism can only come through a BAD understanding of science.

According to entropy law, something cannot be created.

But apart from that - no laws are being broken by evolution in this regard. Using your apple as an example - instead of falling on the ground and rotting, an animal picks it up and eats it. How can this stable form of energy (the apple) replace the energy expended to pick it up and eat it, as well as provide even more energy to the animal, via nutrients etc? Simple, although the energy level may be falling overall, it can be converted to another form useful to the animal in the short term. By eating the apple, the energy level has increased within the animal. Taken over millions of animals, the energy levels within a species increases as they eat plants, or other animals which eat plants. These plants gather energy from sunlight which is constantly converted via the chloroplasts within each plant cell.
So, there is no increase in entropy, just a conversion of energy, which originally derived from sunlight, and passed on via plants and anything which eats them.

Your objections are theological, not scientific.

You know, I'm getting just a little fatigued by the constant repetition of badly-understood, bogus science questions posed by Creationists, even after these same bogus science questions have been discredited for at least decades, over and over again. don't you guys EVER listen when someone who actually KNOWS what the 2nd law is, and then patiently explains to you why you DON'T know what it is? All you do is cut and paste ignorant questions from Creationist websites which have nothing to do with REAL science or ACTUAL evolutionary discoveries, and keep repeating the same tired, completely shattered and disproven bits of distorted jumbled thinking.

It is entropy that drives evolution.

Survival of the fittest and refinement of adaptations to environment are the backbone of evolution. If the environment is continually changing, and systems are continually moving towards a less perfect state then evolution of the perfect adaptation will never occur.

As soon as a new trait has evolved to adapt to the new environmental conditions the force of entropy will create new complexities for the evolving organism to deal with.

Over time, different traits will adapt to deal with the same problem and speciation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speciation) will occur. Thus, new species evolved from the same originator. Niche slection, adaptations directed at specific conditions, will arise.

Biologists have no need to "explain" the Entropy
Law because it is not part of biology. It is physics,
and outside the domain of biology. Living things
have to conform to the Law of Entropy, right enough, but that is no problem. They do not
violate it because they are open systems and
the Law of Entropy applies only to closed systems.

The creationists, in their museum in California, have tried to get around this by claiming that entropy applies to open systems as well, but they are wrong. Living things build themselves up and
organize themselves by expending energy, but
only at the cost of increasing the entropy of their
environment.

Lifeforms decompose when they die, so what is your point? Why don't you decompose and rot away? Because you are alive and your body can regenerate cells for a finite period.

Evolution from single celled lifeforms to complex creatures like humans took more than 3 billiion years. It didn't just happen "like that", as you creationists want to believe.
