Among the Cybermen (Continued)

An explanation of the question, "Was the universe designed by an outside agent?"

The original question ("What is beyond") implies that the universe has end or limit, which is true, but it needs to be made clear as the idea of a boundless (and uncreated) universe is popular. In the process it can be made clearer that the universe does indeed have a creator, whether you agree on who or what it is falls beyond the scope of this post.

Now I'm no professor of course, but I understand that the 1st law of thermodynamics has that energy doesn't dissipate, but instead changes form through use, remaining energy then in a different form. The second law states that while energy changes form, not disappearing, it does not change to equally usable forms and so all things are running down, which is very important to the topic.

A few guiding thoughts on an "outside agent";
1.Their is a finite amount of useable energy in the universe as is evident by the 2nd law. For the universe to be infinite conflicts with this apparent truth. If you have an infinite space with a finite amount of energy than that energy should be gone, spread out or transformed into less useful forms already as so much time has already passed. Their should be virtually nothing left to sustain this place, yet it clearly is still in a state of motion.

2.The universe and all in it is either eternally existent or it spontaneously became. (As seen above it can't be eternal without an some manner of outside influence to provide that which is becoming scarce.) If the universe is spontaneous according to the 1st and 2nd Law it requires an outside influence to supernaturally provide. Without such a mechanism, we are left without an answer as to how anything can become of nothing naturally. In this case, a source of all energy/matter. (I.E. Even if you were a Big Bang believer it still requires another force altogether to provide that which the Bang would have resulted.) Simply, their is no natural means for something to come from nothing.

So ultimately, four things can be gathered by the above...(though it may be hard to swallow for some.)
1.First is that the universe is necessarily created (created by the divine is implied)
2.The second would be that it is limited in it's creation/existence (count this as size or energy if you like)
3.The third (based on the first two) is that something must exist outside of it for it to have been created. (No creation without a creator.)
4.The fourth being that one day it will fail and end (as is noted in both the 2nd Law and divine authorship accounts).

Given all this I am surprised how many people still fight against creation and the divine. Especially in the instances when people try to stand on logic or science to make that stand. Doesn't seem a very strong foundation to me.
