I wish I could say I was adept at mathematics and physics, but I am not.
But I recall someone of my acquaintance, who is both very scientific but also a theist,
observing that the second law of thermodynamics dictates something to the effect that
entropy succeeds over time; everything winds down, like a clock, including the Universe
...and that raises the interesting question about who wound the clock up, in the first place...

That's just a rephrase of the Uncaused Causer argument of Aquinas, and it fails on "who created the creator?" just as surely.
