energia e por fim, do Universo em si. Dentro do reino da ciencia, essas estao entre as mais imoviveis, universais leis da ciencia, como as seguintes autoridades cientificas atestam:) [A law] is more impressive the greater the simplicity of its premises, the more different are the kinds of things it relates, and the more extended its range of applicability. Therefore, the deep impression which classical thermodynamics made on me. It is the only physical theory of universal content which I am convinced, that within the framework of applicability of it basic concepts will never be overthrown. [Albert Einstein, quoted in M.J. Klein, Thermodynamics in Einsteins Universe, in Science, 157 (1967), p. 509 and in Isaac Asimovs Book of Science and Nature Quotations, p. 76.] ("[Uma lei] e mais impressiva o quao maior for a simplicidade de suas premissas, mais variados serao os tipos de coisas ao qual ela interage, e mais amplo sera o seu alcance de aplicabilidade. Por isso, a profunda impressao que a termodinamica classica causou em mim. E a unica teoria fisica de cunho universal de que estou convencido, que, dentro do ambito de aplicabilidade desta, conceitos basicos nunca serao subvertidos") No matter how carefully we examine the energetics of living systems we find no evidence of defeat of thermodynamic principles. [Harold Blum, Times Arrow and Evolution (1962), p. 119.] ("Nao importa o quao cuidadosamente examinemos a energetica de sistemas vivos, nao encontramos evidencia alguma de quebra dos principios termodinamicos") If your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics, I can give you no hope; there is nothing for [your theory] but to collapse in the deepest humiliation. [Arthur S. Eddington, The Nature of the Physical World (1930), p. 74.] ("Ser tua teoria for achada indo contra a 2a lei, eu nao posso te dar a menor esperanca; nao resta nada para [tua teoria] a nao ser colapsar na mais profunda humilhacao") [vejam so o quanto os evolucionistas sao desonestos e fanaticos, ignorando principios a decadas conhecidos contra suas fantasias]The second law of thermodynamics not only is a principle of wide reaching scope and application, but also is one which has never failed to satisfy the severest test of experiment. The numerous quantitative relations derived from this law have been subjected to more and more accurate experimental investigations without the detection of the slightest inaccuracy. [G.N. Lewis and M. Randall, Thermodynamics (1961), p. 87.] ( "A 2a lei da termo. nao e apenas um principio de escopo de amplo alcance e aplicacao, mas tambem um que nunca jamais falhou em satisfazer o mais severo teste experimental. As numerosas relacoes quantitativas derivadas desta lei tem sido sujeitas a mais e mais investigacoes experimentais precisas sem a deteccao da menor imprecisao sequer")There is thus no justification for the view, often glibly repeated, that the Second Law of Thermodynamics is only statistically true, in the sense that microscopic violations repeatedly occur, but never violations of any serious magnitude. On the contrary, no evidence has ever been presented that the Second Law breaks down under any circumstances. [A.B. Pippard,
