Is the World Running Down?: Crisis in the Christian Worldview

Contrary to the modern secular myth of entropy - the idea that the world is irretrievably running down - North maintains that the overcoming of the entropy has its part to play in God's plan for the ages. Think of Moses and the burning bush; the manna that fed the Israelites for almost 40 years; the daily refilling of the oil pot of the widow who fed Elijah for over three years; Christ's feeding of thousands with a few fish and bread. Most notably, however, the overcoming of entropy applies to every account of resurrection from the dead, especially the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Because modern Scientific Creationism has rested its case on the idea of entropy, it has undermined Christian social theory which rests on the doctrine of Christ's ascension in history, not entropy.
