If a mature tomato plant can have more usable energy than the seed it grew from, why should anyone expect that the next generation of tomatoes can't have more usable energy still?


Is that what your science has shown you? Why then, since tomato have been around for thousands of years are we using them for explosives?

Snowflakes, sand dunes, tornadoes, stalactites, graded river beds, and lightning are just a few examples of order coming from disorder in nature; none require an intelligent program to achieve that order.


Again your world view is showing. You are assuming there is not God directing these things. How does one side of a snowflake know what the other side of the snowflake is doing? I am thinking radially here.

If order from disorder is supposed to violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics, why is it seen so often in nature?


YOu see tornadoes and lightning as examples of order? I supose Japan had a couple of fantastic orders at the end of WW2, then didn't it?

Agreed. I have heard estimates (more like wild guesses) that 98% of all species that ever lived are now extinct. It would be mighty crowded if they weren't. If a species died out without leaving descendents its genome is lost. Many, now extinct, species left decendents and their evolved genome caries on. Every time a new individual is sprouted, hatched or born its genome is a variation of that of its parents, so variations appear just as fast as they disappear.


This is predicted by the creation/curse model. It certainly is contrary to the evolution concept of order from disorder.

Many breaks in the fossil record are real.


Only evolutionists argue against this point.

(4) The history of life is more adequately represented by a picture of �punctuated equilibria� than by the notion of phyletic gradualism. The history of evolution is not one of stately unfolding, but a story of homeostatic equilibria, disturbed only �rarely� (i.e., rather often in the fullness of time) by rapid and episodic events of speciation".
From the final paragraph: "The norm for a species or, by extension, a community is stability. Speciation is a rare and difficult event that punctuates a system in homeostatic equilibrium. That so uncommon and event should have produced such a wondrous array of living and fossil forms can only give strength to an old idea: paleontology deals with a phenomenon that belongs to it alone among the evolutionary sciences and that enlightens all its conclusions�time".


"Speciation is a rare and difficult event that punctuates a system in homeostatic equilibrium." Homeostatic equilibrium is what creation predicts. But once the curse was introduced extinction came into play.

For the rest of you quote: Time is not the hero. If the ability is not present the desired results will not happen.
