Christian Right Lobbies To Overturn Second Law Of Thermodynamics
TOPEKA, KS—The second law of thermodynamics, a fundamental scientific principle stating that entropy increases over time as organized forms decay into greater states of randomness, has come under fire from conservative Christian groups, who are demanding that the law be repealed. "What do these scientists want us teaching our children? That the universe will continue to expand until it reaches eventual heat death?" asked Christian Coalition president Ralph Reed, speaking at a rally protesting a recent Kansas Board Of Education decision upholding the law. "That's hardly an optimistic view of a world the Lord created for mankind. The American people are sending a strong message here: We don't like the implications of this law, and we will not rest until it has been reversed in the courts."

"While the article about entropy is humor, think of the many times we come in contact with ideas, proposals, and actions that have total disregard for thermodynamics. Many of which are NOT funny." ~~~~~ EnergyResources Moderator Tom Robertson
