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 />
