DEFYING ENTROPY

The Laws of Thermodynamics:  Energy is never created nor destroyed but always transformed.  Entropy: A thermodynamic measure of the amount of energy unavailable for useful work in a system undergoing change; a measure of the degree of disorder in a substance or a system: entropy always increases and available energy diminishes in a closed system, as the universe; a process of degeneration marked variously by increasing degrees of uncertainty, disorder, fragmentation, chaos, etc., specifically, such a process regarded as the inevitable, terminal stage in the life of a (social) system or structure.

A nation is not an inanimate physical system or process - it is an assembly of living human beings who are spiritual-moral in nature, a greater family of individual families and individuals.  Our destiny is not "terminal entropy."  America's Founders saw to it that we have ownership of secure, constitutional, lawful and constructive processes for Continuum Prosperity.

The founding of the United States of America was a spiritual act that took into account all available scientific knowledge at the time.  It was not an easy transformation from one political system to another, i.e., from the British Empire to a representative republic.  America's Founders were conscious of their actions as they wrestled with the moral dimensions of their separation from Great Britain.  They understood that a tall, great building, for example, cannot stand without a comparable, solid foundation underneath it.  They understood the laws of Conservation and Entropy in systems undergoing change.

The Universe and Nature are structured within the framework of Continuum Space-Time.  The Solar System is comprised of nine Planets and a Sun, held together by gravitational solar Energy, the field forces of which, allow the Earth to revolve around the Sun and rotate upon itself.  As revealed in the Holy Bible, God created the heavens and the Earth and established them in Continuum Space-Time.  Read the words of Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence: the whole Declaration is the epitome of applied sciences and the archetypal creation of the Organizing Principle par excellence, towards the edification of a constructive social system of individual Liberty and the Rule of Law for the purposes of Continuum self-government and religious, political, economic and cultural Prosperity.

(THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF CONTINUUM - THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD)

"When in the Course of human Events, it becomes necessary for one People to dissolve the Political Bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the Powers of the Earth, the separate and equal Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent Respect to the Opinions of Mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the Separation.

(APPLIED SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE - CONSERVATION OF SUPREME AND TRANSCENDENT PRINCIPLES)

"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness - that to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed,

(CHANGE, ENTROPY AND CONSERVATION)

"that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its Foundation on such Principles, and organizing its Powers in such Form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

(ENTROPY - NECESSITY OF CHANGE - NEW CONSERVATION: THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD)

"But when a long Train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future Security.  Such has been the patient Sufferance of these Colonies, and such is now the Necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government.  The History of the present King of Great Britain is a History of repeated Injuries and Usurpations, all having in direct Object the Establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States.  To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid World."

(CONSERVATION OF SUPREME AND TRANSCENDENT PRINCIPLES)

"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor."

Evolutionism contends, given time, chance and the inherent properties of Matter, that life and organization, order and productivity will happen all by accident - that order spontaneously arises from chaos, anarchy and disorder, given enough time and random chance.  The Laws of Thermodynamics say a resounding NO!  America's Founders said a resounding NO in accordance with the Judeo-Christian tradition and the scientific principles they knew, which guided their creation of this nation.   To the contrary, without spiritual consciousness of moral living, in time, things degrade, degenerate, and disintegrate; as Entropy sets in - they do not improve or get better.  And it takes human consciousness to restore Continuum organization to events and processes of Life.  Just cook a meal and expect the dishes to wash themselves and the kitchen to clean itself WITHOUT YOU in the equation - it will NOT happen!  Life cannot arise or emerge from dead, inanimate processes - it takes continuous, conscious spiritual intelligence of a Creator to infuse it with design and organization. 

It is human conscious will from our Creator that imposes Order and Organization upon Matter and Energy - for example, the coal, the oil, the natural gas would remain underground all by themselves, were it not for human ingenuity and creative productivity.  Animals do not have free will; they answer to genetic determinism.  But even insects created by God, like the bees, impose a form of "order" upon the inanimate nectars of the field, by their genetic programming to produce honey.  God gifted us, Humans, with the conscious use of the Organizing Principle and with a portion of His own mental capacities so that, as His created human family, we might take a creative part in the Continuum of things on Earth that are reflections of spiritual realities already extant in the heavenly realm.  In Psalms 8, the Holy Bible declares that we are created "a little less than God," or "a little less than the heavenly beings."  God is eternal; we are mortal.  And thus God said "Let there be light."  And there was light and God saw that it was good.  Likewise, Man said "Let there be electricity."  God allows us to duplicate Nature and the Universe in forms that are useful to us - lightning can kill; but a light bulb gives light.

As Samuel Adams so aptly emphasized, the American Constitution will work only with a religious and moral people.  America's Founders defy Entropy by their persistence, and their insistence on spiritual principles and moral precepts that bore absolute significance for their establishment of a free nation that would endure for centuries into the future.  Read the Preamble to the Constitution of the United States of America.  Founders studied previous kingdoms and empires like Greece and the Roman Empire, not ignoring the tyranny, corruption and vicissitudes that crippled their development into free republics, hence all the precautions, checks and balances, and periodic elections that oversee government operations - for the peaceful and orderly transition of power after each election, ONCE AND FOR ALL.

"We, the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common Defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

"IN ORDER TO FORM A MORE PERFECT UNION!" "TO OURSELVES AND OUR POSTERITY!"  Founders intended that Entropy be defied and constructive change continue to sustain Conservation of the Good that we achieve from generation to generation, within the framework of constitutionally-based laws and amendments to the Constitution of the United States, as local self-government takes precedence over centralized bureaucratic federal micro-management.  For powers not delegated by the Constitution to the federal Government are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the People.  The foundation is constructive individual liberty, and not government supremacy. 

This means that within the Constitution itself are structured inherent processes for constructive, edifying, or up-building CHANGE within Continuum Space-Time, in promotion of good principles, morals, practices and operations, that when implemented, consciously thwart the degenerative effects of Entropy.  But standards must be observed.  With the Bill of Rights, legislative enactments and the amendatory process, and the resulting Constitution and laws, the system can undergo CHANGE, while simultaneously protecting, preserving and defending the Constitution, and at the same time avoiding the traps of tyranny, disorder, chaos and anarchy.  Within the framework of American principles of jurisprudence and political philosophy, is active, an array of self-corrective mechanisms.  When judiciously applied in faithfulness to the Judeo-Christian foundations of spiritual logic and time-tested legal processes that preserve the dignity and lawful liberty of the individual, they ensure organized individual and social activity for constructive self-government.   With utmost reverence for its truth, we can again echo the immortal pronouncement of President Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg, "That this nation, UNDER GOD, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that Government of the people, by the people and for the people SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH. 

As you can see, Spirit matters.  A skyscraper cannot stand without a solid comparably-great, strong foundation, the roots of which, securely reaching into the depths of the Earth underneath it.  Again, Americans continue to defy Entropy - this republic shall not follow the so-called "rise and fall pattern" common to all petty empires that mar the landscape of human history.  From our Founding, God our Creator has been our strength, our shield, our Deliverer, our Rock and our Salvation - as a nation and a republic under God, with liberty and justice for all.  These events and processes are not by accident.  As we have just witnessed above, they were deliberately begun by America's Founders with the expected faithfulness of each generation to the wellspring of its living foundation.

Yes, Matter is Entropic.  But our Creator made us "more than just matter."  We have a spirit and a soul created in the image and likeness of God.  Organization does not sprout spontaneously in Nature - it takes pre-programmed, Creator-imprinting, for processes to continue as created.  But our Society is not Nature - we live by laws enacted upon our given consent.  God endowed us with inalienable rights, the blessings of which, have been secured since our Founding, even since "before the foundation of the world."  Let us not lose sight of our innate spiritual constitution and our intrinsic moral character as we embody those ideals that make for living prosperously in this blessed land.  These are not make-believe fantasies on a movie screen but a reality, based not just on Law, but on a conscientious apprehension of the Good which impels us from within our hearts.  Therein are treasures untold and prophecies foreknown.
