Still, to me, it sounds like you’re scientifically describing a theory of God, or at least an explanation of the how of Intelligent design. Perhaps I missed something?
Yes, it’s just thermodynamics, not god.
I’ve been trying several different ways to clarify in layman’s terms, but I’m not having a whole lot of success, but it’s easiest to think of a near-perfectly round ball that is forever rolling down-hill trying to make itself perfectly round.
Then it gets more difficult…
There is no need for a god when there is no beginning nor end to this perpetual “downhill” effort in the direction of absolute balanced symmetry between matter and antimatter.
There is an inherent disequilibrium in the energy of the universe, and this imbalance is the impetus that drives it to move toward reconciliation. But you can’t get there from here when the imbalance is inherent, so the universe must out of necessity continuously evolve to a more-efficient configuration or energy isn’t be conserved.
Note, for an empirical example, that humans got dramatically better at increasing entropy when we leaped from apes to harness fire, and beyond… … … …
Same thermodynamic mechanism, is all.
Disclaimer:
Don’t count on any of this until the Large Hadron Collider comes up empty handed when they fire it up this spring, but do remember this if they don’t find the Higgs boson or other new physic in a reasonable amount of time.
