The Special Creation Corollary

The Special Creation Corollary
By
James Scott Trimm
(As I learned it from my late father James H. Trim)

My father taught me the following as a child, he passed away around 1985 when I was 17 years old.

The Special Creation of the Universe can be easily proven through the apparent conflict between the first two Laws of Thermodynamics.


The First Law of Thermodynamics

The first law of thermodynamics may be expressed as follows:

Increase in internal energy of a system equals heat supplied
to the system plus work done on the system.

In a thermodynamic cycle, the net heat supplied to the system must always equal the net work done by the system.

The net change in internal energy equals the energy that flows in as heat minus the energy that flows out as the work that the system performs on its environment. Work and heat are not defined as separately conserved quantities; they refer only to processes of exchange of energy.

From this law we may also conclude that the internal energy obeys the principle of conservation of energy which may be stated:

Energy can be neither created nor destroyed. It can only change forms.
In any process in an isolated system, the total energy remains the same.


The Second Law of Thermodynamics

The second law of thermodynamics states:

When two isolated systems in separate but nearby regions of space, each in thermodynamic equilibrium in itself (but not necessarily in equilibrium with each other at first) are at some time allowed to interact, breaking the isolation that separates the two systems, allowing them to exchange matter or energy, they will eventually reach a mutual thermodynamic equilibrium. The sum of the entropies of the initial, isolated systems is less than or equal to the entropy of the final combination of exchanging systems. In the process of reaching a new thermodynamic equilibrium, total entropy has increased, or at least has not decreased.

What is “entropy”? you might ask.

Entropy is the sum total of running down of the energy of the universe.  The energy of the universe is distributed heterogeneously (unevenly) but when any energy flows, it always flows from an area of high intensity to an area of lower intensity.  This means that the universe is working its way toward a homogenous (even) energy distribution of energy).  The entropy of any closed system always increases and the overall entropy of the universe must increase forever to the maximum.  When this occurs all energy will be equally at odds with itself and no work can happen.  All of the hot stars, for example, will have dispelled their energy into cold space.  No work can happen, no motion, nothing will ever “happen” again.  For all practical purposes the universe will be dead.


The Creation Corollary

Now clearly the universe is not dead, work happens every day, and hot stars still pour out energy into cold space.  Entropy is still on the increase and has not yet increased to the maximum.  The universe therefore cannot be infinitely old, or else entropy would have already increased to the maximum.

If the universe is not infinitely old then the presence of matter and energy in the universe, prove that there was a time in the finite past in which the first law of thermodynamics was not true, a time at which matter and energy were in fact CREATED.  This is an inescapable corollary of the Second Law of Thermodynamics, the Special Creation Corollary which might be stated as follows:

If energy flows only from an area of high intensity to an area of low intensity,
and the distribution of energy in the universe remains heterogeneous,
then the universe is of finite age. 
If the universe is of finite age and it contains matter and energy,
then the First Law of Thermodynamics and the Principle of Conservation of Energy
have not always been true, and at one time matter and energy were created.

“Sirens” in the Book of Enoch?

“Sirens” in the Book of Enoch? By James Scott Trimm In the Book of Enoch we read: “And the women also of the angels who went astray shall become sirens .” (1Enoch 19:2). Although the Ethiopic text has “ salamaweyan ” (“peaceful”) which is widely regarded as a corruption with the original reading being that found in the Greek εις σειρηνας “into sirens.”  This is certainly a passage which we would like to see in the Aramaic, much less the lost original Hebrew, but unfortunately the Aramaic for this passage has not survived. In Greek mythology, the Sirens were beautiful yet dangerous creatures, who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island.  So why would the Book of Enoch refer to “sirens”.  Why would an ancient Hebrew text refer to “sirens” and what was the original Hebrew word(s) behind “sirens”? “Sirens” in the LXX In the Greek Septuagint the Greek word σειρηνας (sirens) does...

Secrets of the Oath that Binds the Fallen Angels

Secrets of the Oath That Binds the Fallen Angels By James Scott Trimm We read in the Torah: 1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, 2 That the sons of Elohim saw the daughters of men, that they were fair. And they took them wives, whomsoever they chose. 3 And YHWH said: My Spirit shall not abide in man forever. For that he also is flesh; therefore shall his days be a hundred and twenty years. 4 The N’filim were on the earth in those days and also after that, when the sons of Elohim came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. The same were the mighty men that were of old--the men of renown. 5 And YHWH saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil; continually. 6 And it repented YHWH that He had made man on the earth, and it grieved Him at His heart. 7 And YHWH said: I will blot out man whom ...

Vatican Library Hid Original Hebrew Gospel Manuscripts for Centuries

The Vatican Library Hid Original Hebrew Gospel Manuscripts for Centuries By James Scott Trimm The Vatican Library is a treasure trove of ancient documents and artifacts.  While the public Vatican library was officially created in 1475, the library itself actually dates back to the origins of the Roman Catholic Church.  The library contains over 75,000 codices and over one million other books. In the 17th century about 150,000 items were designated as part of the "Secret Archives" and are not available to the public. Over a period of four centuries, only about 1,000 people have had access to these secret archives. One treasure which the Vatican famously suppressed for centuries was Codex Vaticanus 1209, known simply as Codex Vaticanus, or "Codex B".  Codex Vaticanus is one of the oldest, most complete manuscripts of the Greek New Testament dating back to the fourth Century C.E. Codex Vaticanus was listed in the first public catalog of the libr...
