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). 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 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. this direction of time towards life is good.
if, on the other hand, i drop an ordinary 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. 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 (the opposite direction of the time of the
things in this world under the influence of God). this direction of time
towards death is evil.
