IDScience,
You never responded to this point of mine...
Btw., the accusation that the zero sum universe was merely invented as atheist propaganda, is silly. This fact comes out of the mahematical description of gravity e.g. in the predictions for inflation.

Your idea of a lifeform independent of entropy which becomes aware and persists, tied to energy only, as a self-aware structure of some sort no matter what happens to entropy, does seem very problematic to me. First of all, entropy basically is what gives us our arrow of time, where more likely macroscopic states are later than less likely ones (to criminally simplify a bit). Without it, there is no real notion of cause and effect. The idea that an intelligence persists and evolves throughout time independently of entropy requires some serious theoretical effort to bridge this gap, by default it just looks wrong.
If we assume, for the sake of argument, that you manage to construct such a thing and show that it is in the least bit plauaible, you still are stuck with the problems that there is no evidence for a plane of reality (in the form of physical degrees if freedom) in which such a being would be realized *and* has some form of administrator rights for access to our reality, such that the name "God" would at all be justified. This is not something you can just claim to be obvious. What's more, for your argument to hold, you need to show that this unusual physical proposal is not just a vague possibility, but rather a necessity. Until then, you simply have no case.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
