Entropy - Why is the Earth Going Nuts?



For the creation (nature) was subjected to frailty (to futility, condemned to frustration), not because of some intentional fault on its part, but by the will of Him Who so subjected it—[yet] with the hope. That nature (creation) itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and corruption [and gain an entrance] into the glorious freedom of God’s children.
Romans 8:20–21 amp

Webster’s New World Dictionary gives the following definitions for
entropy:

1. A thermodynamic measure of the energy unavailable
for useful work in a system.
2. The tendency of an energy system to run down.

Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary defines entropy as “the degradation of the matter and energy in the universe to an ultimate state of inert uniformity or a process of degradation or running down or a trend to disorder.”

One day, all of creation will run its course. Without a drastic surge in sustainable development, that day will come sooner than we think. Due to entropy, deterioration is a natural process supported by science. It affects every aspect of human existence, and no natural response can stop it. How did entropy originate? That’s the type of question that science can never answer, but the Scriptures can.
