The Entropic God – Allison Miller
Allison's study of entropy and creation reveals a Paschal pattern in the cosmos that is beautiful and encouraging, and I believe it is relevant for what it means to nourish faith in postmodernity.The Entropic God: Christian Theology Confronts the Second Law of Thermodynamics
When it was first introduced in the mid-1800s, the concept of entropy—which states that systems in nature move spontaneously from order to disorder, from lesser to greater randomness—triggered intense ideological debate in the West, testing the cosmologies of both theists and atheists alike. This paper examines three contrasting ways Christian theologians have confronted the second law of thermodynamics over the centuries: by questioning its relevance to Christianity outright, by identifying it with negative forces like sin and death, and (finally) by embracing it as vital to a new paradigm of faith—one that recasts disorder as divine possibility.
