 Comments for The Way Forward The 1st Law of Thermodynamics states that matter can be neither created nor destroyed, and that the amount of matter in the universe remains constant. If the First Law is correct, which every scientific measurement ever made has confirmed, then the universe could not have created itself, it must have been created in the past, no further creating must be going on, and no loss of creation is occurring. The Bible is the only religious book that correctly portrays the First Law by 1) its description in Genesis of a Creator who is no longer creating, and 2) a Creator who is “upholding all things by the word of his power Hebrews 1:3″.
Genesis 2:1 says (after creation):
“Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.”
The Hebrew word used in the above quote is the past definite tense of the verb “finish” indicating an action completed in the past. The creation was “finished” once and for all. That is what the First Law of Thermodynamics says. It states that neither matter nor energy can be either created or destroyed. There is no “creation” ongoing today. It is “finished” exactly as the Bible states.
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics, which states that all systems degenerate from order to disorder, was regarded by Albert Einstein to be the premier Law in science. Again the Bible is the only religious book to accurately describe this Law:
”For the heavens will vanish away like smoke, the earth will grow old like a garment. Isaiah 51:6″,
and also a New Testament rendering:
“You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of Your hands. They will perish, but You remain; and they will all grow old like a garment; Hebrews 1:10-11
