1 | How to know God just from seeing nature? | Rom 1:20 | Sir Pent | 22209 | ||
Finding God in Nature, part 3 .................. The second thing that I notice about the universe is that there is an enormous amount of energy and matter in it. The laws of entropy state that systems always go from a state of order and high energy to a state of disorder and low energy. A good example of this is a child's bedroom, but we can see this in nature constantly. The lesson that we learn from this is that it is not possible to for a creative force to make something with more energy than it had to begin with. Therefore, the "Eternal Power" that made the universe must have more power than all the energy in the universe combined. In fact, that "Eternal Power" must be practically infinitely powerful. Thus one can learn that there is an "Omnipotent, Eternal Power". |

Greetings Sir Pent! Yes, a certain bedroom does come to mind.. :-) One that is big enough to house and accomodate a boy, yet small enough for us to realize that matter does indeed take up space.. Hasn't it been scientifically proven that everything is in a state of 'decay', however small or rapid that rate may be? If this is so, then we can only conclude that at one point, everything was "new" and perfect! And if this is so, then everything must have also had a "beginning" or source! And only one Eternal Power could have spoken such a 'beginning' into existence, since everything that is made by humans has been remanufactured by something else that was already in state of 'depreciation'.. Sometimes I wish that this "law" was not true, though, since it would save me from getting a new car every five years or so.. :-) But even this points to a "grand design" by a Sovereign power or Creator. Blessings to you, Nolan |

Dear Nolan, You are correct that it is almost universally accepted in science that everything is in a state of decay. You also wisely conclude that it implies that things were once in a state of perfection. This is not necessarily the case, but it is more likely than any other assumptions to choose from. |
