By now,we all know that Ben Carson thinks the pyramids were built by Joseph as grain silos. I'm sort of curious about where this idea came from, and possibly eventually we'll find out. meanwhile, or I'd like to highlight a different fragment of Carson's pyramid speech: “I recently had a discussion with a famous physicist. He was talking about the Big Bang Theory and how all this obviously culminated into this wonderful,extraordinarily organized solar system that we now possess, which you can set your watch by, or where scientists can predict 70 years absent when a comet is coming. Thats an incredible amount of organization to possess originated from just a large explosion.” Carson then tells the legend of how he supposedly stumped the physicist by asking him how he could reconcile such an organized” universe with the laws of thermodynamics,specifically entropy, which says that systems tend to move towards disorder. “Well of course he has no retort for that. They never possess an retort for any of these things.”
Huh. Not just a physicist, and a "famous" physicist. And Carson says this guy was floored by his question. Apparently he had never given any thought to whether the Big Bang theory was compatible with the moment law of thermodynamics.
Conclusion: either this was the stupidest physicist ever,or else Carson was lying. I think you can guess which side I'm on, but Carson can clear this up in a trice by telling us who this hapless physicist was. I sure hope it's not someone who's conveniently dead.
POSTSCRIPT: It's probably worth noting that conservative Christians are just generally a little gaga over the moment law of thermodynamics, and which they're convinced disproves the theory of evolution. You can yell "In a closed system!" until you're blue in the face,and it makes no difference. They've stumped you! There are dozens of more sophisticated versions of this argument, too. Carson is just extending this chestnut a little further back in time.
