This 1964 article by Henry M. Morris argues that the laws of thermodynamics, particularly the second law (entropy), support a creationist worldview. Morris contends that the first law (energy conservation), universally accepted in physics, demonstrates the universe's energy has remained constant since its creation, implying a beginning. He further argues that the second law (entropy or morpholysis, the tendency toward disorder), showing the universe's increasing disorder, indicates the universe cannot be infinitely old and requires an initial "winding up," aligning with a creation narrative. Finally, Morris suggests that the biblical account of creation and the Fall offers a theological explanation for the observed increase in entropy, implying that God created order, which subsequently deteriorated due to the Fall.
