The label 'most anti-evolutionists' does not apply to the person who started this thread. If the (all too human) 'origin of the laws of physics' seeks answers in biblical passages, then this is not far from the mixing of science and theology that the IDM is covertly seeking. Neither evolution nor ID are or should be immune to criticism.
I hope to respond tomorrow to some of the many good comments here. There does seem to be hard thinking at ASA about the possibility that some things (really) don't evolve.

p.s. as a side note to Dick, it was David Opderbeck, not me (though I quietly thought it and openly suggested it), who asked the following question: "Isn't it just inaccurate to use the term 'evolution' to mean 'change'?"
"The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it." - Jn. 1: 5
The image of the invisible God is apparently not subject to theories of evolution.

Sure, the 2d law poses some problems that have to be dealt with in
connection with evolution. & the question of the origin of the laws of
physics is appropriate, & I think Christians can give a good answer starting
from Jn.1:1-14 & Col.1:15-20. But most anti-evolutionists are content with
the superficial & wrong claim that the 2d law rules out any system becoming
more orderly. There's little point in nuances until that myth is
demolished.
