ANNOTATION:
Entropy and God

QUESTION: If matter is eternal (1st law of Thermodynamics) but constantly moving towards disorder, how did the (my) universe originally get organized to begin with? Are the Laws of Thermodynamics subject to a higher laws or authorities?

As today we understand that matter is neither created nor destroyed, so the ancients described God also as being eternal. They described God as the GREAT ORGANIZER (creator/destroyer).

But how does She do it? GOD is beyond matter - not subject to it's effects. That's what makes GOD GOD.

The ancients also say that you and I are, like God, also eternal - but unlike God, we are bound in matter.

Question: Does the universe get reorganized to its original state or continue to degenerate indefinately? Is the drama cyclical or liniar?
