To expand upon this. If you add energy, you can decrease the entropy locally, but reversing the process will create more entropy that the previous reduction. Or why a perpetuum mobile will never work as you always will have energy losses.
Same priciple is used in a fridge and freezer, as the entropy in a closed system wouldn't allow anything else than room temperature. That's why a energy sucking (heat=energy) freezer drain power instead of producing it.

So to suppport the entropy decrease of living beings, you'll need an energy source. That's about as probable as a big energy emitting ball hovering in the sky.


Can also add that evolution is not about the creation of life, but about how life have evolved afterwards.

Finally, according to the Bible (Genesis 5), the flood happened 1429 years after the creation of Adam, so if earth were created around 2300 BC, the flood happened around 871 BC.

The historical sources seems to be awfully silent on this matter and well actually existing despite humanity's reduction to Noah and his sons. And the antediluvian sources are even in different languages before the tower of Babel.

Whoever came up with that time line is more historical ignorant than the people living in the middle ages, a time when the biblical time line were taken more literal than today.
