I have a blog now, scary. So out of the millions things to write about in the first post, I will write about this argument I heard on the Bob Dutko show today that I liked (the gist of it anyway):
You have three options for the creation of the universe:
1) The universe is eternal.
2) The universe was created some time in the past without any supernatural event.
3) The universe was created some time in the past with a supernatural event.
#1 violates the second law of thermodynamics. It cannot have lasted forever or it would have used up all the energy available for work. The universe must have been created with a lot of usable energy and is now running down.
See http://www.answersingenesis.org/Docs/370.asp for more.
#2 violates the first law of thermodynamics. It cannot have been created from nothing.
See http://www.direct.ca/trinity/1law.html for more.
#3 is left, where some supernatural event happened outside the bounds of these laws that caused space-time and matter to be created. In the face of that, I'll say it was God. If you don't want to say it was God, then what do you say caused this supernatural event?
