de energiam e uma arranjo mais estavel de moleculas em simples, uniformes, repetidas estruturas com minima complexidade, e funcao nenhuma. Esses nao sao exemplos de materia formando a si propria em mais organizadas ou mais complexas estruturas ou sistemas (como postulada na teoria evolucionista), mesmo que eles possam certamente refletir "ordem" em forma de simples padroes.) Jeffrey Wicken (an evolutionist) has no problem recognizing the difference, having described it this way: (J. Wicken (evolucionista) nao tem problema em reconhecer a diferenca, descrevendo-a desta maneira:)Organized systems are to be carefully distinguished from ordered systems. Neither kind of system is random, but whereas ordered systems are generated according to simple algorithms and therefore lack complexity, organized systems must be assembled element by element according to an external wiring diagram with a high information content ... Organization, then, is functional complexity and carries information. It is non-random by design or by selection, rather than by the a priori necessity of crystallographic order.[Jeffrey S. Wicken, The Generation of Complexity in Evolution: A Thermodynamic and Information-Theoretical Discussion, Journal of Theoretical Biology, Vol. 77 (April 1979), p. 349] ("Sistemas "organizados" devem ser cuidadosamente distinguidos de sistemas 'ordenados'. Nenhum dos dois e 'aleatorio', mas " enquanto que sistemas ordenados sao gerados conforme simples algoritmos e portanto carecem de complexidade, sistemas organizados devem ser montados elemento por elemento de acordo com um "diagrama de fiacao" externo, com um alto conteudo de informacao... Organizacao entao, e complexidade funcional e carrega informacao. E nao-aleatorio por design ou selecao, mais do que por uma prioritaria necessidade de "ordem" cristalografica.) Nobel Prize winner Ilya Prigogine also has no problem defining the difference:(Premio Nobel Ilya Prigogine igualmente nao ve problema em definir a diferenca:)The point is that in a non-isolated [open] system there exists a possibility for formation of ordered, low-entropy structures at sufficiently low temperatures. This ordering principle is responsible for the appearance of ordered structures such as crystals as well as for the phenomena of phase transitions. Unfortunately this principle cannot explain the formation of biological structures.[I. Prigogine, G. Nicolis and A. Babloyants, Physics Today 25(11):23 (1972)]("O ponto e que em um sistema aberto existe a possibilidade de formacao de uma estrutura ordenada, de baixa entropia, em temperaturas suficientemente baixas. Este principio de ordem e responsavel pelo aparecimento de estruturas ordenadas como cristais, bem como o fenomeno de transicao de fases. INfelizmente este principio nao pode explicar a formacao de estruturas biologicas") Thaxton, Bradley, and Olsen make the same clear distinction:As ice forms, energy (80 calories/gm) is liberated to the surroundings... The entropy change is negative because the thermal configuration entropy (or disorder) of water is greater than that of ice, which is a highly ordered crystal... It has often been argued by analogy to water crystallizing to ice that simple monomers may polymerize into complex molecules such as protein and DNA. The analogy is clearly inappropriate, however... The atomic bonding forces draw water molecules into an orderly crystalline array when the thermal agitation (or entropy driving force) is made sufficiently small by lowering the temperature. Organic monomers such as amino acids resist
