Evolution

Over 150 years after Darwin published The Origin of Species, creationism is alive and belligerent. When the knowledge and evidence leave no doubt about the fact and the mechanism, an important part of humanity continues to deny its validity while not providing any proof to the contrary, only because it doesn’t fit with their beliefs*. I'm respecting the right, honesty and the convictions of any person, my intention is showing the not validity of both arguments is based the theory of Intelligent Design.
 

People who deny evolution are of many kinds. We have from the believer where the smallest difference with the scriptures is sufficient to discard the argument, until those who support an evolutionary path that leads to humanity directed or planned by God. The first, as I said, these are beliefs that do not agree but I respect (as they always respect my right to disagree), the rest are believers but with more or less correct arguments, they intend to demonstrate the need of someone who guide the process. Do not deny evolution, simply they see it as a plan to reach us. This paper does not attempt to demonstrate the principle of Natural Selection, because there are enough papers on the subject made by people more competent and wise than me, that I will try to show the invalidity of the principles Entropic and Anthropic that is behind the alleged Design Intelligent.
Throughout the nineteenth century already existed the notion among the naturalists that the animal and plant species had not be always the same. The existence of fossils of animals that no existed now it was a fact that creationists justified by universal flood and these species had not been jumped on the Ark. But geologists began to discover that the Earth was much older than the Genesis could assume, however the humanity had also changed the species using selection, creating new species and extinct others. It also seemed that nature was happening something similar. But what was it that made it possible?. Darwin postulated the mechanism that makes this possible, and in this mechanism "the existence of God was not a necessary hypothesis" (these words were the answer of Laplace to Napoleon when asked about the role of God in his theory formation of the Solar System).
Darwin delayed to publish his book. It was necessary a letter from Russell Wallace who exposing him his thoughts about that he had seen in Indonesia, which it coincided with Darwin reasoning, and then he deciding to publish the book  together with Wallace. His initial reticence is precisely the basis of Entropic principle. Entropy is a magnitude defined by giving a numerical value to the second principle of thermodynamics. The second principle of thermodynamics talks about the direction of the processes in nature, establishing a process occurs when total entropy grows. Entropy is understood as the amount of disorder so the natural sense of things is toward the disorder, which daily experience confirms. If the natural sense of things is disorder, how evolution can occur if this is the opposite, it's order and it's improving; so evolution is not a natural but requires the will, as us when we choose the animals to mate, ultimately Someone must lead this.
This argument comes from using the simple definition of entropy. But entropy is much more than the degree of disorder of a system. The entropy postulated that the expected result is that usually becomes, there is a statistical fact. This is equivalent to disorder, and explains it with an example:
Suppose I have five numbered balls (one to five), I put them in the bag, I stir them and I take off one by one and record the sequence of extraction. For five balls I have 120 possible sequences (5!), but there is only one ordered sequence. We could establish different orders but remain mostly disordered sequences, and if instead of five I have ten balls (3.6288 million sequences [10!]) it would be even larger difference between ordered and disordered. So every time you perform the experiment the expected result is disorder (119/120=0.992 against 1/120=0.008) as it shows the nature and predicts Entropy.
So what is due to the order imposed by life? Simply expected result doesn't mean always. If I do my experiment of five balls a million times, I get the extract ordered about 8,000 times (more or less, it isn't exact). So if you have many atoms and long time is almost sure produce extremely complex molecules, and these can produce some strange effects. If any effect is strange that under certain conditions the molecule can clone mirrors it is only a matter of time their relative abundance increased over other molecules with higher probability of creation. We climb a step above and we may not check that everywhere these molecules extend the conditions are not exactly the same, in this case can happen: they stop replicating, they do wrong and the new modified molecules can't replicate, or they do wrong even the new modified molecules can replicate too, in the third case we have a new line of self-replicating molecules. And do not stop here, they need atoms to create new molecules and that they get them from the surrounding molecules (whether simple or complex), the change in concentrations (destruction of surrounding molecules and increased self-replicating molecules) causes a change of conditions for chemical reactions, so any molecule can do stop its replication and it could be absorbed by another molecule that these conditions are more favorable to it, even one line can have a mutation that defends its surrounding molecules. Ultimately chance and time, especially long time (on Earth around 1,000,000,000 years ~ 1/4 of its history), have enabled the generation of complex molecules, and that some of them had the power to generate some new molecules like them, these did also failures in the replication and the mutated molecules that the conditions were favorable at that time, prospered. Following the same mechanism of error test we are passing to clusters of molecules, then the functional specialization of this groups and finally viruses and cells. And it's following the same pattern random variation: if this variation gives me advantages, I prosperous; if this variation is not useful, I fail and disappear. As you can see this mechanism no requires Somebody to lead.
The mechanisms exhibited increases complexity and therefore reduces the entropy, but it does increase Entropy its surroundings. So we look at a LASER, it generates light that is much more complex than other type source f.e. a bulb, it gets this by selecting photons that are emitting and it's throwing the rest, therefore its performance is 10% at most, so similar power it has required to 10 times more energy (and thus entropy) in a laser for example a bulb. But the laser light has less entropy than the bulb, Entropy decreased if only you look at the light but if you look all, light and surroundings, the entropy has increased. Life makes the same, its complexity is increasing due to the entropy of the universe (which it's expelled and which it's need to do it). Life keeps your order as we take the entropy that surrounds it, it takes the lower and rejects the rest, as our everyday experience can be seen in the toilet. So our planet pays the toll to have life, it's generating more Entropy than any other planet in the Solar System.
In the same way the existence of humanity is the result of chance too. If a combination of climate crisis with meteorite bombardment had not extinguished the dinosaurs, who would be writing this paper would be a lizard. With this fact we could see a purpose but this is also the result of chance. The earth has undergone many traumatic impacts, and also the climate has changed dramatically. Every situation of these separately had produced tensions which have deviations in development of evolution, but when both occur simultaneously the effect has been devastating with mass extinctions. Rarely it led to the demise of a genre, even with it produced much larger extinctions. In the same way mammals that were contemporaries of the dinosaurs are almost extinct, but in wars of attrition, it will be the last to die who will won, and the current diversity of mammals came from a few species that survived. So if the impact of K/T would have been before or after perhaps it would have been the mammals were genre disappeared and now there would be some lizards wondering if there is a divine plan for them.
We are not the zenith of evolution. The mechanism continues, f.e. african elephants have fang increasingly smaller due to the hunting of elephants with large fang. A series of mishaps, coincidences and carom have led to the homosapien where he is, but with other events certainly we would not have existed. Our absence does not mean that don't arise technology species, it does not necessarily coincide with our time. It could have appeared a smart arthropod 200 million years ago (it is an extreme case, but it does not mean it hasn't got brain may have a distributed intelligence among their neural ganglia, however there is no known case). And the existence of a technology species is not due to any intentional, simply the possibility is there and only it needs time. In short we are here by chance and which evolution probably would have given sooner or later one or more species technology (not necessarily similar to ours).
To conclude that the entropic and anthropic arguments are the result of the fact which we feel different to other living beings on this planet. We believe the apex of the pyramid and God is its justification. But we are so special as jellyfish floating in the sea,no more no less. And most of our problems of negacionism come from we don't understand that all living beings around us have gone through the same ups and downs to get to share the day with us, of course those who have come, and hence a time there was not them and us and we have been exchanged for other species, as has happened so far. The hypothetical technology arthropod had already disappeared millions of years ago, indeed perfectly it could have been  and we don't know it because after millions of years nothing remains of their civilization. Within 200 million years will not be anything from us, and the planet still full of life, though different from the present. And this is the main point, the transcendence, we want to transcend, individually or collectively matter, our lives must have a purpose, and we resist having the same purpose as an amoeba's life: to born, to develop them, to reproduce and die.
