(8,377 posts)And what is it with the 2nd law of thermodynamics? That simply says that the universe AS A WHOLE moves toward entropy. But along the way, circumstances arise where things do get more organized. The fact that the earth is spinning slightly slower every day doesn't prevent us from having days and nights, which in turn cause all sorts of other organized reactions. Likewise, the fact that the earth's orbit around the Sun is slowing every so slightly every year doesn't prevent us from having seasons that give rise to cycles of life.
All that the second law says is that in the long run, the universe goes silent. And I guess that is too much for the churchies to bear even if we are talking billions of years after all of us die.
Why the hell do they even care about any of that? They all believe they are going to be in some intergalactic country club they call heaven, so none of this is going to affect them.
