The Principle of Entropy and the Application of Energy
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Without the application of external energy, the entropy of a system will always increase. This is the heart of the second law of thermodynamics. However, contrary to how it is often stated the application of energy does not magically reduce the entropy of a system. The simple fact of the matter is that the entropy of the energy being applied to the system determines how the energy affects the entropy of the system.
What is energy?
The basic scientific definition of energy is: “the ability to do work.” Energy is what allows everything in the universe to move and do things. We take in energy from the food we eat and use it to run our bodies. Energy comes in many forms: mechanical, kinetic, Thermal, chemical, electrical, and radiant. There are ways of turning all of these forms of energy into useful work. It is also energy that is responsible for mass, and this allows us to control our motion.

Plus Reports on Israeli and Iranian Strategies
Pakistan is a South-Asian nuclear military power estimated to have 170 nuclear warhead weapons, making it the 6th most powerful nuclear power in the world. Global Firepower ranks Pakistan 14 of 145 nations in overall military strength and firepower. It currently has 650,000 personnel in its active armed forces.
According to Worldmeter, the 2026 population of Pakistan is just over 259 million, the fifth largest in the world. It ranks 33 in geographic size, being almost twice as large as California. It borders Iran, India, China, and Afghanistan. It also borders the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman and is thus a major player in the Indian Ocean.
Pakistan has been an important and invaluable channel for unofficial communications and negotiations between the United States and Iran. The key Pakistani leaders involved are Field Marshall Asim Munir, Chief of Defense; Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardar, Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbar Sharif, and Pakistani Foreign Minister and Deputy Prime Minister Mohammad Ishaq Dar.
Why Do Evolutionists Frequently Insult Creationists?
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
There are many examples online showing a tendency among Evolutionists to respond to creationists with insults and other types of personal attacks. They frequently accuse creationists of being anti-science, science deniers, and insulting their intelligence, just because they reject a specific theory promoted as science. Sometimes initially rejecting a theory can help give someone a better understanding of it, if they eventually accept it. When I was younger, I struggled for years with Special and General Relativity as well as Quantum Mechanics. Eventually, I found answers to the problems that I had with them, and today you will find me a strong supporter of all three. In other words, I had the freedom to question them, and it actually helped me to understand them better. The question before us is: why do evolutionists frequently insult creationists?

There were 244 Iranian military and 1,200 civilians killed. Iran retaliated with 550 ballistic missiles and over 1,100 targeted drones on 5 Israeli military bases, Israeli defensive missile positions, and key intelligence and communication centers.

Iran and the United States 6-17-2026
Transcribed from an Unofficial CNN Release
This version of the 14-Point Memorandum of Understanding comes from CNN reporters contact with U.S. State Department officials attending the G-7 Summit in France this week. Both American and Iranian officials have denied its accuracy, but it has received wide distribution and discussion today in the media. Both President Trump and Vice President J.D. Vance, however, have spoken to the issues raised, giving some explanation to them. Most of the media questions reflected a confusion of false narratives about the war with reality. I have included a few brief clarifications as necessary.
First of all Point 8 is the most important, because it was seemingly the main point of conflict and reason for war.
Dealing with the Claim that Creation is Magic
- Details
- By Charles Creager, Jr.
Evolutionists will frequently dismissively call creation magic. The basis for it is the fact that creationists refer to God, and it is a supernatural perspective on the origin of the world and history. However, the reason for invoking this claim is simply as an excuse to be dismissive of anything creationists have to say. Here we go through the arguments showing why it is completely false.
Creation is not magic; it is caused by intelligence and intent.
Magic is typically defined as the use of supernatural power without mechanism or structure. Creation and other acts of God, however, are caused by intelligent intent, and on several occasions in the Bible actual processes are described. For example, in Genesis 2, it describes God as forming Adam out of the dust of the Earth and breathing into his nostrils the breath of life. This is describing actual physical processes and mechanisms.

From False Flags to Truth, Common Sense. and Hope
On Tuesday, June 9, President Trump announced that the Iranians had shot down an AH-64 U.S. Army Apachee helicopter off the coast of Oman near the Persian Gulf and Strait of Hormuz. The AH-64 Apache was part of the 82nd Airborne Division of the U.S. Army. Within two hours, Central Command (CENTCOM) announced that the two pilots had been rescued and were in stable condition and that the cause of the aircraft loss was under investigation. CENTCOM also revealed that the pilots were rescued by using a new uncrewed 24-foot naval drone, the Saronic Corsair, and that this was the first operational use of this high-speed naval drone.
