Nature's Laws vs Man-made Laws (II)

In creational science the most important laws of nature are the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics.  The First Law defines quantitatively the equivalence between units of heat and units of work.  But this is incomplete.  We must distinguish between high intensive heat whose work equivalence is destructive, and the weak units of heat used by God in the design of water-based life which is constructive and capable of self-propagation.  The Jehovah Cycle which I flow-charted in this blog (July/2010) uses sunlight 8 light-minutes away, not at the sun's surface.  Thus life must proceed at its own leisurely pace.  In my book, I pointed out that the Creator probably made a feasibility study such that the time required to create Homo sapiens on planet Earth could occur before the burn-out of the sun.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics can be stated in many ways.  I choose the following by Clausius:  It is impossible for a self acting machine working in a cycle process without any external force, to transfer heat from a body at a lower temperature to a body at a higher temperature.  The important point that demands notice is that this basic law is stated in a negative sense, to define what is outside of the domain of desirable result by whatever action a designer may have dreamed up.  It is a limit, or constraint in the real physical world.  In the next installment, I want to point out that mankind's response to the discovery of fossil fuels, while highly beneficial in numerous aspects, also contains doubly impossible pursuits of greed and selfishness.
