So now that we have a test (we are treating the worldviews as we would theories because in a sense they are) and now we have our specific origin worldviews (Evolution and Intelligent Design) we now have to get some appropriate Scientific Laws to test these theories.
These laws have to be universal laws dealing with life and origin: Out of all the scientific laws there is, it seems there are about 4 main laws that are relevant to the Origin Theories.
1. Law of Cause & Effect (Law of Causality)
This law states that:
For everything that is or has happened there was a force or action that caused it, and for every cause there was an effect of some kind. [1]
You can see this practical law in a million of examples in life and all around you: its proof that this law is alive and active in everything in the world and beyond:
Examples of all these laws will be given in simply drawn diagrams to illustrate the laws in effect.
Here is how this diagram will show the examples for cause and effect:
2. Law of Conservation of Matter/Energy
This Law (Really, this “one law” is really two similar laws combined together) states
That all matter and energy that exists in this universe cannot be created or destroyed but only changed into a different form.[2]
These Laws are not as noticeable as the first law, but they can still be noticed if you look closely.
This diagram will show the examples of Laws of Conservation of Matter/Energy:

3. Law of 2nd thermodynamics (Law of Increasing Disorder/ Law of ever-increasing entropy)
Though this law usually is only limited to heat transfer (Called Thermodynamics) the main concept behind it: Entropy (Which basically means increasing chaos) can also be applied universally (More specifically the non-thermal law of Entropy: The Law of Increasing Disorder/ Law of ever-increasing entropy) though technically these laws are considered one in the same and are often not distinguished from one another; the universal one is the one we are interested in.
The most basic law of the universal Law of 2nd thermodynamics states
That all things are heading towards a more chaotic state in time: All complex things will eventually become simple over time.[3]
Like the first, this law has millions of examples in life; it’s very noticeable, this is proof that this law is also alive and active.
Here are how these diagrams will show the examples of Law of 2nd thermodynamics:
Examples of these Laws
Universal Examples
4. Law of Biogenesis
This law states that all living things (specifically life made up of cells/are cells or viruses: organic life on Earth) always comes from other living things of the same species/type and never are produced spontaneously from non-life (inorganic material) or by another species.[4]
This law is less noticeable in life but still can be seen if you look closely
Here is how this diagram will show the examples of The Law of Biogenesis:
So, these are the laws that we will use to test these origin theories to see which theory is more truthful.
Finally, without further waiting it's time for testing!
