Re: What are the different kinds of entropy, anyhow?
So far as I know, no-one has ever argued that "entropy only corresponds to closed systems"
​
I have seen many an "evolutionist" argue that "the second law only applies to closed systems" without the appropriate caveats. That bare statement is, of course, false, as an appropraiate formulation of the second law applies to all systems.

Re: What are the different kinds of entropy, anyhow?
Which is not what randman said.

True, it's not a direct quote. However, IMHO, given the common creationist confusions about the 2LoT and their tendency to report what they've read inaccurately, I think it's what he meant.
