Creationists -- do you have an air conditioner in your home or office?

Question

Air conditioners move heat from a cool place to a warm one. In other words, they create a localised decrease in entropy at the cost of having to do Work.

According to the Creationist interpretation of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, however, localised entropy decreases are absolutely precluded -- work or no work.

How do you square the fact of cool air blowing out of one side of your aircon (and the credit counting down on your electric meter) with the belief that the Second Law of Thermodynamics declares this to be impossible?

Thank you for using excellent grammar.

Answer 2

This is moronic hahahahahahahahahah. so your denieng the second law of thermodynamics. the second law states that everyting tends toward chaos. But evolution things that it can get by this law. Give me a break, this has nothing to do with the second law. STRAW MAN. Quit listing to EVOLUTIONISTS on youtube and on the web. acording to your we are ansesters of rocks???????? am i wrong.??

Answer 3

Show me an air conditioner that evolved, first.

You need to know something about physics. Things will follow physical laws unless some outside force is acting upon it. If I hold a pen in the air, the pen is defying gravity. Why? Because an external force (my hand) is acting upon it. The same is true for your home.

You actually give a good argument FOR creation. Homes, offices, temperature settings, and Work involve some intelligent agent. What would you get if you had to make things like that evolve?

Answer 4

they can't?

Answer 5

...And they say evolution doesn't make sense? o__O Jeez.

EDIT:

"acording to your we are ansesters of rocks???????? am i wrong.??"

Yup. You're wrong. Sorry.

Even if that was true, it'd be the rocks that were our ancestors. Unless rocks are yet to come.

Oh c'mon man, you don't want their heads to explode.  Too much cognitive dissonance could damage their brains!

Answer 7

Sorry to inform you but your first statement is wrong.

Air conditioners remove heat from a hot place, cool that heat down and send it back, therefore cooling the hot place.

This is also how refrigerators work.

If it was a cool place to begin with, there would be no need to remove any heat.

edit: my dear, air conditioners remove heat from a space, dissipate that heat into the outside air, making the air cooler and return the cooler air to the space. Refrigerators work the same way. They remove the heat from a space. A refrigerant is used to cause this to happen. The refrigerant collects the heat in the space, absorbs the heat, transfers the heat to the coil where it is dissipated into the outside air, therefore making that air cooler, and returning it to the space.

edit: why do you assume that it is cooler on the inside? It isn't, or wouldn't be without an air conditioner to begin with. That is the point of conditioning the air to begin with, to keep the inside from heating up to the tempurature outside.

The irony of Dale A's answer is staggering.
