- Do you see the irony of this statement? Every time a Creationist brings up the
- gaps in the fossil record, Evolutionists say "Lack of evidence does not
- contradict evolution." Now you're using the same argument against my theory.
-
- Anyway, let me give you some evidence (although hardly proof): The first law of
- thermodynamics says that energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only
- changed from one form to another. The second law says that the amount of
- entropy in the universe is decreasing. This means that the amount of energy
- that can be put to useful work is decreasing. From this we get the idea of the
- heat death of the universe. Now if we go backwards in time we see that the
- entropy of the universe is decreasing. Eventually we get to a point where
- there is no entropy. So before that point either the laws of physics no longer
- hold (no evidence of this), or God created the universe.
