Where in the world did the idea come from that things left to themselves can improve with time?
It came from all the evidence that pointed in that direction.
Who would start a crazy idea like that?
Where do you get the idea that someone would have to "start" such a line of reasoning?
This idea is the opposite of everything we observe in the world today.
No it isn't, Kent. And it's downright inexcusible that your ignore the example of every living thing on the entire fucking planet.
For instance, all the highways in our nation today left to themselves decay, deteriorate and fall apart.
Highways are not living organisms with the ability to self repair.
A house left to itself will become a wreck
A house is not living organisms with the ability to self repair.
It takes work and constant planning to make anything improve
Obviously not. Especially considering all the technological advancement that humanity has stumbled upon with little or no planning, and the same hold true for biological evolution.
Everything tends toward disorder.
In a closed system. We do not living in a closed system, we live in a system that recieves far more energy than it can utilize, which has, literally, fueled biological evolution.
Kent Hovind's Ph.D dissertation
Isn't rather fucking sad that Kent's <cough>doctoral<cough> "dissertation" is of such poor quality, with such shoddy, and in many casesnon-existent, evidence that it can be taken down and picked apart by thousands, if not tens and hundreds of thousand of people, most of whom are not even 1/10th as qualified as Kent "claims" to be.
