I <strong>AM</strong> : M. M. Ninan<br />

only be effected by the intervention of intelligence. In the current<br />

universe where we live entropy is always increasing. But it need<br />

not be so. There is no reason why it should not have been the other<br />

way round. The world could have gone from order to greater order<br />

by itself without the intervention of an intelligent agency. It must<br />

have been that way before the fall of Adam. Or at least the entropy<br />

would have remained constant when Adam entered the scene and<br />

Adam had the ability to choose the law of his universe. He favored<br />

the increase in entropy bringing in dissipation of energy and decay<br />

and death. It is this reversion that Paul refers to as "creation was<br />

subjected to frustration”; "that the creation itself will be liberated<br />

from its bondage to decay"<br />

Notice again that Paul speaks of redemption of our bodies as the<br />

sign of becoming sons of God by adoption.<br />

When Jesus said, "I am the resurrection and the life" he was talking<br />

about the resurrection of man as a wholesome being. Instead of<br />

"death reigning in our bodies" i.e. on the matter as it does today,<br />

Jesus brings life to the mortal bodies.<br />

Rom 6:9-10 For we know that since Christ was raised from the dead, he<br />

cannot die again; death no longer has mastery over him The death he<br />

died, he died to sin once for all; but the life he lives, he lives to God.<br />

Did Jesus bring life? We do not see it. As it was with death, so it is<br />

with life. The resurrection power is released and it started at the<br />

tomb of Jesus. According to normal law of decay, Jesus’ body<br />

would have been decayed. But it did not. What happened in that<br />

tomb was the greatest violation of the second law of<br />

thermodynamics - the law of order to disorder. Instead, it went<br />

from a decaying body into a non-decaying imperishable body.<br />

There was a reversal of the inviolable law of entropy in the tomb of<br />
