107 A Cosmological Argument Counterexample creation being a contradiction), if nature is finite in energy, then by now maximum entropy would have been reached and we would not exist, because energy would be too dissipated. Maximum entropy has not been reached and we do exist. Therefore, nature is not finite in energy. The laws of thermody namics, in combination with our existence, necessitate that nature be infinite in energy. The entire Big Bang is only an infinitesimal dot in an infinite uni verse. The total energy in nature is equal to the absolute value of the positive (kinetic) energy plus the absolute value of the negative (potential) energy. The total quantity of energy in the universe is infinite and constant, similar to the quantity of integers. If time is viewed in reverse, nature does not ultimately deflate back to a beginning. The total energy of nature is constant because of the first law of thermodynamics (Serway & Beichner, 2000). Given infinite time, because the total energy is constant, if the average entropy of nature or the average tem perature of nature increased or decreased, then we would not exist, because nature would be too cold or too hot. The average temperature of nature must be constant and the average entropy of nature must be constant below its maximum level or we would not exist. This means there is no overall inflation or deflation of nature. a contradiction. Supernatural existence and supernatural cause are each contradictions. Craig contradicts himself in that he asserts that something cannot come from nothing and that his god caused something to come from nothing. In defining his god, Craig fails to refer to anything that can be real, because his definition is a contradiction in terms. It is totally accurate and totally reliable that there is no real alternative to nature existing; nature exists by itself and does everything on its own; nature is infinitely old and will exist infinitely into the future; nature is infinite in energy; and nature is equal to reality. CONCLUSION Craig’s Kalam cosmological argument is indefensible. Creation is
