The Colbert Report


Tonight's guest on the Report was Sean Carroll, a theoretical Cosmologist, and he made a statement I had never heard in my life! He was trying to explain how time worked in the universe, time and space are related but you can't take a wrong turn in to yesterday, but his statement about how the universe was formed was astounding.

He claimed that the universe started out very disorganized, got real organized into galaxies and whatnot, and is now headed back in the direction of disorganization through entropy. It was amazing that this well educated man was trying to make the case that the universe moved toward organization on it's own power! How does a natural universe that has to operate under the laws of Thermo-Dynamics move from chaos to order?

It's almost painful to watch very smart people try to answer very difficult questions after removing the one factor that explains how it's possible, namely God! It is only through the work of a powerful Creator marshaling creation and forcing order into chaos by His own sovereign will that explains how our universe is so well organized and designed. Poor scientists, I almost feel sorry for them!
