Read the book: [Science & Earth History, prometheus Books. Buffalo, N.Y.,
Arthur N. Strahler,] Titled, Entropy and Universal Decay, Chapter 13, pages
86 thru 92. In it, consist of detailed information on Entrophy and shows
that the universe did indeed, have a beginning. Evidence is presented in the
form of mathematical data and graphics.

Entropy:
a. a measure of the unavailability of energy for conversion into mechanical
work in a thermodynamic system, due to the random motion of the molecules
which comprise the system. It is directly proportional to the quantity of
heat in a body and inversely proportional to its absolute temperature. It
vanishes at absolute zero.

b. a measure of the degress of disorder of a system. The total entropy of
ani isolated system cannot decrease with the change. It can only remain
consant, in a resversible process. The entropy of the universe is increasing.

Entropy:
a. the irreversible tendency of a system, including the universe, toward
increasing disorder.

The law of entropy proves the universe could not have existed from all eternity.
