The only thing that matters in science is predictive capacity: how well can a theory predict
the evolution of a closed system based on initial conditions, or the closest you can get to that in real life with caveats made based on holes in the system or model.

If you mean that we counter creationists arguments that
evolution runs counter to the second law
of thermodynamics by saying that that law only applies to heat transfer and randomness in a
closed (gaseous)
system, well, that is true.

of planet formation and
evolution, which lead to the large variety
of exoplanets and planetary -
system configurations that have been observed.
Indeed, once the time - loop conceit gets cooking, Edge
of Tomorrow reveals itself as something more modest, and assuredly so: a lean quest narrative about an egomaniac's gradual shedding
of himself and resultant
evolution into a pure instrument for the Cause — dying over and over again so that he might inch his way
