Theology Proper: 16 PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENTS FOR THE EXISTENCE OF GOD
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

Simply stated, the first law of thermodynamics states that it is impossible to create energy, and the second law states that it is impossible for heat energy to flow spontaneously from a cooler body to a warmer body. If a pan of water is found to be warmer than the surrounding air it is a foregone conclusion that the water must have been heated by some source which was hotter than the air. It is also evident that if no further heat energy is applied to the water, the water will in time give up its heat to the air until both water and air have the same temperature. When this state of equilibrium is reached it is impossible for the water to make the air warmer, or for the air to make the water warmer.
