Evolution needs an energy conversion mechanism to utilize energy (Talk.Origins)

Claim CF001.5:


 * Energy inflow into a system is not enough to make that energy useful. There must also be an energy conversion mechanism. Without that system, evolution cannot work.

CreationWiki response:

This is primarily a response to the rebuttal about the Earth being an open system. Evolutionists often bring up the fact that the Earth is an open system as though just adding energy to a system will reduce entropy. This claim just makes the point that simply adding energy is not enough.

While this is true, a specific energy conversion mechanism is needed to do a particular job. Simply showing that energy conversion mechanisms exist is not enough.

Coming from Talk.Origins, this is almost saying that creationists are right.

Not quite. Goo-to-you evolution often requires an increase in genetic order, but mutations can only increase disorder. Mutations are Evolution's mechanism for heritable variation. Mutations are the real mechanism for evolution, but they are a totally random process and as such it fails as an energy conversion mechanism. Besides, none of this provides an energy conversion mechanism for the origin of life.

While energy conversion is a quality of life, it needs to be shown specifically how it is converted for goo-to-you evolution. Besides, none of this provides an energy conversion mechanism for the origin of life.
