Objections & Responses
Objection: "The universe has finite energy"
"The total energy of the universe is finite (or zero in some formulations). There's no infinite source."
Response

The universe's internal energy is finite. [[063_BC6_Infinite-Energy-Source|BC6]] claims the source that sustains the universe is infinite. The Logos is outside the thermodynamic system, providing negentropy from beyond. Like a heater powered from outside a closed room can warm it indefinitely, the Logos powers creation from outside creation's energy budget.

Objection: "Conservation of energy forbids infinite input"
"Energy is conserved. You can't add infinite energy to a finite system."
Response

Conservation applies within closed systems. If the universe is an OPEN system (coupled to the Logos), energy can flow in from outside. [[063_BC6_Infinite-Energy-Source|BC6]] is about the external source's capacity, not the internal system's total. The source must be infinite to sustain eternal existence; the recipient remains finite at any moment.

Objection: "This is just 'God of the gaps' for thermodynamics"
"You're inserting God wherever physics has limits."
Response

Not gaps but necessities. Thermodynamics proves that eternal existence requires external input (Schrödinger's negentropy). What could provide infinite negentropy? Something with infinite energy. This is logical necessity, not gap-filling. The question is: what has infinite energy? That's the Logos/God.

Objection: "Quantum fluctuations provide free energy"
"Virtual particles appear from the vacuum. Maybe the universe self-sustains through quantum fluctuations."
Response

Vacuum fluctuations are borrowing, not creating—they pay back within Heisenberg time (ΔE·Δt ~ ℏ). Net energy gain is zero. You cannot extract sustained work from vacuum fluctuations without violating thermodynamics. The fluctuations average out; they don't provide infinite negentropy.

Objection: "Heat death doesn't require defeat—just acceptance"
"Maybe the universe just ends. Why require entropy defeat?"
Response

If existence is meaningless (terminates in heat death), then the Logos claim fails. Theophysics requires eternal meaning—coherence that persists. If heat death is final, there's no resurrection, no eternal life, no ultimate coherence. [[063_BC6_Infinite-Energy-Source|BC6]] is precisely what distinguishes Theophysics from nihilism: entropy IS defeated, through infinite energy.

Physics Layer

The Second Law and Heat Death

Second Law: dS/dt ≥ 0. Entropy never decreases in isolated systems.

Heat death: As t → ∞, S → S_max. All energy becomes uniformly distributed thermal energy. No gradients, no work possible, no life.

Timeline: Current estimate: 10^100 years until heat death (depending on cosmological model).

The problem: How do you sustain existence beyond heat death? Not with internal resources—they're exhausted.

Mathematical Layer

Infinite Energy Requirement Theorem

Theorem: Defeating entropy for time t → ∞ requires energy E → ∞.

Proof:

1. Maintaining coherence C > 0 requires continuous work W(t)

2. W(t) ≥ ε > 0 for each finite interval (Landauer minimum)

3. Total work over infinite time: W_total = ∫₀^∞ W(t) dt = ∞

4. Work requires energy: E ≥ W

5. Therefore, E → ∞ required

To Falsify This

  1. **Show entropy can be defeated with finite energy** — Demonstrate perpetual negentropy without infinite source
  2. **Prove the universe is energetically closed** — Show no external energy input is possible
  3. **Demonstrate eternal existence without infinite power** — Show how finite energy sustains eternal being
  4. **Violate thermodynamic limits** — Get more negentropy than available energy allows
