Stephen Hawking discusses the 2nd law of thermodynamics in his book A Brief History of Time:
"The explanation that is usually given as to why we don't see broken cups gathering themselves together off the floor and jumping back onto the table is that it is forbidden by the second law of thermodynamics. This says that in any closed system disorder, or entropy, always increases with time. In other words, it is a form of Murphy's law: Things always tend to go wrong! An intact cup on the table is a state of high order, but a broken cup on the floor is a disordered state. One can go readily from the cup on the table in the past to the broken cup on the floor in the future, but not the other way round." (Page 144, Bantam Books, New York, 1988.)
As stated in the previous posting, the only way to circumvent the second law is to introduce energy and design into the system. Complex structures like the sun, a cell, a strand of DNA, or an eye must have their origin in a powerful God who has a vast amount of energy and design ability at his disposal.
To quote Henry Morris: "Local and temporary increases in complexity are only possible when driven by designed programs and directed energies, neither of which is possessed by the purely speculative notion of vertically-upward evolution."

I agree with the statement about God's vast amount of energy and design ability at His disposal!
Our minds cannot imagine or even begin to comprehend what God is able to do.
If He was able to create this universe...He can do anything, and one day we, who are His children, will see and experience the fullnes of it all! What an awesome day that will be!!
