<div><br>
</div>
<div>i agree completely with your statement that entropy may be the biggest blunder in the history of science. it may be the piltdown man of modern scientific theory.

</div>
<div>for more on why the theory of entropy is radically wrong, see my book The God Problem: How a Godless Cosmos Creates. </div>

<div>Dear All,</div>
<div>and special thanks to Pedro.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>I do not have any further comments, beyond what I already wrote on entropy and life.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>Perhaps I can add one comment, which is irrelevant to misuses of entropy for life.</div>
<div>It concerns the misuses of entropy to the entire universe.</div>
<div>I believe that entropy is not definable to the entire universe, not in the present, not in the future and not in the past universe.</div>
<div>Yet, there are whole books discussing the meaningless “low entropy of the universe, near the Big Bang”</div>
<div>I have discussed this topic in great details in my recent book:</div>
<div>ENTROPY: The Greatest Blunder in the History of Science.</div>
<div><br clear="none"></div>
<div>All the best,</div>
<div> keep yourselves happy and healthy,</div>
