Denying God: The Breakdown of Order
by Tim Lamb
Thermodynamics is, in all honesty, way over my head. I just spent
twenty minutes on the internet trying to find a quote to back up what
I want to say and I feel dumber for the effort.
However, I am told that this “Second Law” supports what is clearly
visible and readily provable by science and experience - that all
things move from order to disorder; that all systems left to
themselves become less and less productive; that everything is headed
toward chaos.
Every farmer has a working understanding of this. No matter what they
grow the secret is to harvest at the right time to store the commodity
until it can be consumed before it rots...because rot, it will.
Everything that lives, dies, everything that grows decays, everything
going fast slows down, and there is nothing new under the sun.
This should apply to all systems of life. Everything with information
is simply part of more information. Everything that is intelligent
came from a greater intelligence. Every energy came from a source of
greater energy...and everything that loves came from a greater love.
So why do people claim that this law just came into existence? Why do
people think that for millions or billions of years this was reversed?
Why do people think that the thought, power, and love that enables a
parent to hug their child was once stored in matter somewhere in
space?
So what of the fossil record? What of the ancient things found in the
earth? They are simply things that lived and died before us. Things
that were under the same natural laws we are under. Ashes to ashes and
dust to dust...and order into chaos.
So where did we come from? The origin of order and the giver of life
has got to have more intelligence that that which came from it. Either
we made ourselves or something made us, and since we still cannot
create life from nothing the “First Cause” had to have more
intelligence and more love than we do.
It IS reasonable to believe in God!
This same sort of unreasonable reasoning has been applied elsewhere in
contempt of religious tradition. The Bible says marriage is a covenant
between a man and woman and for thousands of years it has been so.
Everyone has the right to marry someone of the opposite sex or live in
any estate they wish other than marriage with any person they chose.
The covenant of marriage is not necessary for any other relationship
but once again truth is dismissed for desire and disfunction.
And again for transgender-ism, the latest political cause - common
sense and reason and the obvious are replaced in the name of a
misguided vision of tolerance. What is gender? Gender is not what you
feel it’s what is in your plumbing. If you have male genitalia you use
the room for males. If you have female accouterments go to the
appropriate facility. WHY IS THAT SO HARD? Little kids could identify
who a boy and girl are – at least until the federal government got
ahold of them.
Society is definitely proving the Second Law of Thermodynamics, giving
up order for chaos. God IS reason. Man seems determined to deny both!
