if i drop an ice cube in a cup of hot water, the hot water cools down and
the ice cube melts simultaneously until the temperature of the water and the
temperature of melted ice cube are the same. the final product of this
process is a body of lukewarm water. a negative entropy change is a change
in the state of a system towards organization and order (a change towards
life), and a positive entropy change is a change in the state of a system
towards disorganization, disorder, and randomness (towards death). the
change of the hot water in this process is a negative entropy change., and
the change of the ice cube is a positive entropy change. if sw = the
negative entropy change of the hot water and si = the positive entropy
change of the ice cube, then, according to the second law of thermodynamics,
sw + si > 0. in other words, the total entropy change of the process during
the passage of time is positive. this means that the direction of time of
the things in this world under the influence of the second law of
thermodynamics is towards death.
on the other hand, suppose that God is a divine ice cube. if i drop the
divine ice cube in a cup of hot water, the hot water cools down, but the
divine ice cube does not melt (it does not change at all). the change of the
hot water is a negative entropy change, but there is no entropy change in
the state of the divine ice cube. if sw = the negative entropy change of the
hot water and c = the constant (yet dynamic) state of the divine ice cube,
then sw + c < 0. in other words, the total entropy change of the process
during the passage of time is negative. this means that the direction of
time of the things of this world under the influence of God is towards life
(the opposite direction of the time of the things in this world under the
influence of the second law of thermodynamics).
