Could Evolution Do That?

 On a bus tour to Yellowstone, Dave and Mary Jo Nutting encouraged us to challenge evolution’s claims, because they cannot be substantiated with scientific evidence.

So I saw a new eye doc recently, and said to him something about how complex the human eye is and that many creatures have even more complex eyeballs, and knowing this, does he believe in biological evolution?

He thought a minute and said, Yes but he didn’t discount that a divine being might have started things. However with enough time and genetic changes, biologic evolution seems to be the way it happened

So I said, “but how many mutations are beneficial?” He answered correctly, “Very few.”

Then he gave me his best argument for evolution, and you’re not going to believe this:

He said he once saw a video about evolution where a pool cue stick poked an 8-ball into a rack of 10 balls in the triangular shape and they scattered in all directions. Then the video reversed, and all the scattered balls came back into the triangle shape as pretty as your please.

Evidently he thought that evolution occurred through some reverse process.

So I said, how likely would that be, seeing that it contradicts Newton’s Second Law of Thermodynamics, which states everything tends to disorder and entropy.

He said, “Not very likely.”

By the way, I’ve asked that first question to several eye doctors and technicians now and only one told me he did not believe in evolution but in God creating. He was LDS.
