"Entropy increasing means "less energy available" for work, work is required to create order."

You misunderstood my comment, which was:
"Even an infinite series of reference points or decreasing disorders(looking backwards to the origin of the Universe)
would approach and eventually equal absolute order-Creation. This of course is the rationale in the calculations of an exapanding Universe."

I am going backgwords in time towards less entropy and more order and not forward towards greater entropy and greater disorder.

Incidentally, I do have a background in Physics during my undergrad years. This does not impply that I can't make mistakes in scientific discussions--I do, and often.

The 2nd Law of Thermo. does indicate an intelligent self-generated force--God-- at the beginning of our Universe if we extropolate from the facts that our Universe is increasingly disordered and the expansion velocity decreasing.

The nice thing about hard science is that it always upholds Gods' Word
God said 'in the beginning He created the heavens and the earth'
Without having Gods' Word as a starting point for revealtion and thinking, I doubt that man could have ever conceived of the possibility that everthing had an origin. Man would probably be still stuck the pagan cyclicality of all things rather than Gods' linearity--a beginning and an end.

Enough of this or we will wear ourselves out in the foolishness of sense knowledge--producing even more entropy.

I just returned from a Passion Play. Jesus Crucified for our sins and raised for our justification. Now that violates the 2nd Law. God takes a decaying humanity and raises them to His eternal sons. From increasing chaos to complete order. Praise His Holy name now and forever---Faher, Son and Holy Spirit.

Also, congratualtions on Gods' precious gift to you and your wife.

Graystone,

I read this:

A Brief History of Time

That is the book in which Hawking concludes the universe had to be created. It is impossible that it could have happened by chance............
