And if we are talking laws of thermodynamics then how do you equate the notion that God created everything with the first law that states that energy cannot be created or destroyed?
But if we are taking the energy form the sun, then according to entropy (which needs to be applied to evolution, you understand why), the sun must be losing energy.
When someone makes a sandwich, then eats it, we can say he "created" the sandwich, then "destroyed" it. Actually, the first law goes well with the depiction of an Eternal Energy-Giver. Since all energy (literally speaking) cannot be created or destroyed, it proves energy to be eternal, without a beginning or end, or always existing.
Yes, the sun is losing energy. It goes through 100s of tonnes of fuel a second, so that has to release some energy. What's so ridiculous about that?
