Both, I'm a Catholic but I'm also loyal to my 3rd yr. high school section (Darwin)

What Darwin did not know
We now know that if Darwin could have foreseen coming scientific developments, he would have had good reason to be concerned that his theory might one day be proved wrong.
In particular, Gregor Mendel had not yet established and published his work on the laws of heredity and genetics, which said that the characteristics of offspring are passed on from parents according to precise mathematical ratios and do not derive from chance random processes in what Darwin called 'blending inheritance'.
James Joule, R.J.E. Clausius, and Lord Kelvin were only just developing the concepts of thermodynamics, the first law of which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed (so the present universe could not have created itself), and the second law of which says that the universe is proceeding in a downward degenerating direction of increasing disorganization (so things overall do not of themselves become more organized with time).
Louis Pasteur was just beginning his famous experiments which showed that life (even microbial life) comes from life, not from non-life.
The mathematical laws of probability, which show that the odds of life's occurring by chance are effectively zero, had not yet been applied to the theory of evolution.
Molecular biology, with its revelation that the cell is so enormously complex that it could not possibly have been formed by chance, had not yet commenced.
The fossil record had not yet been investigated sufficiently for palaeontologists to be able to say, as they now do, that chains of intermediate 'links' do not exist.
Any one of these concepts or laws, if known to Charles Darwin at the time he was writing his Origin (1856-59), would have been enough to torpedo his ideas; taken all together they kill the theory of evolution stone dead!

Aw, c'mon, don't even start:

It ignores the fact that life and evolution does follow the laws of thermodynamics. Order in life comes from using more energy to produce organization than the energy that comes out.
In other words, you use 100% of the resources available to you to generate life, which can only remit about 40% of that energy (not accurate, this is an example). If you don't generate life, the resources go unused.

Stop resurrecting threads! This one only brings sorrow and misery!
