Proving the Bible is false in few words.

Was that an atheist using the second law of thermodynamics in relationship to the universe in a religious debate...

hmmm where's Void when you need him

I'm not sure what you think the problem with using scientific theories (such as the second law) in a religious debate is. Evolution, for example, figures very prominently in a lot of religious debates. If Biology is OK, then why not Physics?

Funnily enough, there's an argument against the existence of god which is based on the second law. The simplified version runs like this:

1. God is a highly ordered entity.
2. God preceded the Big Bang.
3. In order to create the Big Bang, god must've been more ordered than that which he created.
4. However, by the second law the statistical probability of the Big Bang being preceded by a more orderly state of affairs approaches zero.
5. Therefore god doesn't exist.

I don't think that its a very strong argument, since a theist can simply argue that the second law doesn't apply to god.

Under your definition of 'a strong argument' against theism, there are no strong arguments - since theists can simply argue that ______ does not apply. Take Watson, another member here, as exhibit A. Watson will go so far as to say that not even what is written in the Bible about the Christian deity, applies to the Christian deity: http://atheistforums.org/thread-3679-pos...l#pid70154 'insane, i know'
