Show me which piece of substantiated scientific fact proves that there was matter before the big bang and where it came from - another assumption on your part. Show me the physics that prove that the Law of thermodynamics doesn't work in an open system. You contradict yourself by claiming that entropy only works in a closed system, and then you state that 'The only truely closed system is the universe itself' - which makes it clear that it obviously works as it is in a closed system. You obviously haven't got a clue about science - you just want to argue. Please don't waste my time with you childish and puerile statements!!!

If this is a scientific law, then where did the first piece of matter come from. Hawkings refers to this as the 'point of singularity'. If this is true, What ignited this 'babg' - where did the energy come from (what triggered it?) The 2nd law makes it clear that we are in a state of 'entropy - run-down or degeneration. This means that things go from a state of order, structure and complexity to a state of chaos, confusion and breakdown. We go from order to chaos. We see this when, for example, an apple falls from a tree. The 'big bang' reverses this order and tries to 'teach' that we go from a state of chaos to order. Try setting off an explosion in a junkyard; according to the 'big bang' theory, the resulting explosion - given enough time - should create a jumbo jet or a human being, or some life form. Where's the science there?
