>Problem is, an origin does not require a personal creator. Adding an unproven deity to the universe as an "explanation" actually
makes the problem larger. It may sound odd that a universe is spontanously created, but a Creator-God that
is powerful
enough to create a universe is a much more difficult being to explain!
Not at all, that being who MADE THE VERY LAWS for our universe, may not reside in this universe! He would also be able to suspend these laws or circumvent them.
>Another problem: You are no doubt totally unaware that the word "order" in thermodynamics has very little to do with "order"
as we see it in everyday life. Quite the contrary in many cases.
Everything breaks down
to basic levels with the passage of time, this is an observed fact. Creatures die and return to basic elements, buildings disintigrate, metal is consumed by rust, and the list goes on and on.
