The First Law of Thermodynamics

By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.


(Hebrews 11:3) ESV

The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

(Genesis 1:2) ESV

Genesis 1:2 gives us the conditions predicted to be necessary by scientific models of the beginning of the universe. A such, the first law of thermodynamics isn’t broken in the Biblical account of creation.

First Cause: The deep

The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

(Genesis 1:2) ESV

The Holy Trinity consists of two separate individuals who conceived to beget a third. Before creation began there were two elemental particles which fused to make a third. Coincidence?

Divide the Waters from the Waters

a drawing compass and the creation of gravity on the second day

This post is part of the series Gravity

And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.

( Genesis 1:6-8 )

Dividing the waters above from the waters below requires at least two things to happen, as we will see. Above what? is a good question, since there was only a formless mass at this time. Whatever was to divide the waters has to be constructed in the process of dividing them because there was nothing there to do it before. God made a firmament in the midst of the waters, and there is something both under it and above it. The concept of under and above tells us that there is now an up and a down, so an ordering has already taken place, at the beginning of the process of dividing the waters.

The Written Word

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

(John 1:14) KJV

When we consider the events of the first day, up to and including the development of cellular life with replicating DNA, it’s not too far fetched to propose that the Word of God was encoded on that day. What better way to accomplish this than to actually have the Word of God be encoded as information in DNA.

Photosynthesis

The next steps are to build these highly complex molecular structures into systems like: chloroplasts, where photosynthesis takes place for changing light into chemical potential energy; mitochondria, for generating chemical potential energy from food; and the sophisticated DNA – RNA system for storing and replicating inheritable information.

Organic Chemistry: Ethane

Organic Chemistry.

It doesn’t take long smashing Hydrogen atoms together to make all of the elements of the Periodic Table. There is one particular element, Carbon, that has a remarkable chemistry. So much so that the chemistry of Carbon is a separate field of study: Organic Chemistry. Shown here is the molecule Ethane, as Chemical symbols.

Building Complexity

It was therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these.

(Hebrews 9:23) KJV

Here’s another example showing how, theoretically, atomic nuclei can be built by fusing Hydrogen atoms.

This comes directly from mainstream science and it isn’t some kooky religious mumbo-jumbo. It’s worth noting that the popular science (SciPop) paradigm requires conditions for the early stages of the universe (the Big Bang) that are met in the testimony of scripture.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.

(Genesis 1:1-2) KJV

The only thing necessary for the “scientific” explanation of nucleosynthesis is a source of hydrogen atoms, and this comes from the molecules of the deep.

The Traditional Understanding of “Let there be Light”

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep.  And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light.

(Genesis 1:1-3) KJV

The first major split between Matty’s Paradigm and Creationism is in answering the question: What’s the source or nature of the light that the Lord created on the first day of creation?
