Naturally Curious
Hello fellow students of the truth. I present this blog as an attempt to ask big questions and hopefully find some big answers.
I'm excited to explore with you as we discuss and research some of life's greatest controversies. How does science contradict religion? Or unpopular opinion, how does science support the claim for a Creator. There are a number of such topics hotly debated among highly intellectual academics. I aim to research each one of these and come to my own conclusions. Welcome to my world.

Questions and Answers: Big Bang or a Creator?
For centuries philosophers and scientists alike believed that when raw meat was placed outside maggots would form on said meat. (1) This was the conventional theory of the day held most strongly by none other than the great philosopher Aristotle. However with the discovery of the first Law of Thermodynamics possibly the most fundamental law to exist since Newtons Laws, Aristotle's spontaneous generation theory was disproven. Ask any scientists or engineer today whether the First Law is not the most fundamental law of natural sciences. It simply states that energy can neither be created or destroyed.
​
Along came the second law of thermodynamics. The second law states that when in an open system matter always decays into more and more chaos. In other words entropy of a system is always greater than one.
​
Now you may be asking me why would these two fundamental laws be ones' first topic to bring up immediately following a discussion of spontaneous generation. If you've asked me that this blog might not be for you. If you are the curious type than you will have already connected these two laws and determined the outcome of my argument. This is the classic form of debate. First tell your audience a story as to engage their emotions. Then deliver a premise and defend that premise with supporting postulates and theorems. Happily this is the way in which science follows the "Scientific Method". A discussion of which will prove pertinent in the ensuing paragraphs.
​
In order to apply these laws and theories to the logic process of a geometrical proof, one must first determine a strong, definitive first statement. This statement would be as follows:
1. Matter can be formed out of a lesser amount of matter.
2. Energy can never be created or destroyed yet it can only change forms.
​
Statement one and statement two can never coexist. Statement two is a scientific law and statement one was a scientific theory. As one can see Statement two disproves statement 1. Statement 1 is the theory of spontaneous generation. Statement two is the First Law of Thermodynamics. The law clearly disproves the theory.
​
3. Something can form from nothing.
4. The entropy of a system is always > 0.
​
Statement 4 contradicts Statement 3. If entropy is always zero that means that the system is always increasing in chaos. Some would argue that there is no way for something as intelligent as the human brain to be the result of an infinite increase in entropy. In other words the Second Law of Thermodynamics makes the Theory of Evolution improbable at best.
