Entropy in short is a law of thermal dynamics that says everything eventually breaks down. When applied to society today do you feel this is correct that societies themselves are breaking down or that we are moving up. Some would argue that because we live longer this alone means the human race is exempt from entropy. But is living longer the only real meaning of our human existence? Is it better to live a meaningful life than just to live long? The morals most societies held as being correct have been eroded to nothing. While some things like slavery and racism needed to be eradicated or things have occurred. Children are exposed to sexual images at a very young age in our multimedia world. On the other hand we now have more knowledge and can learn at a faster rate than ever and traditional methods of teaching are too slow for children to even learn by. For all of our advances in better ways to live there has been the negative side which we have also learned quicker ways to kill. So do you believe Entropy applies to humanity also? If so than couldn't the same thing be said of religion that eventually the true meaning gets broken down conforms to society instead of society conforming to the ideas of a religion?

Yes Evan I have to agree! I figure religions have lost some of their glory or glory of their message after being handed down through many human hands, and what with being made up of humans.. And for the same reasons I figure they have picked up some baggage along the way.. including my own beloved faith.. But I never really thought of it as entropy, and all I have to say is "bingo!"thumbup

From my observation of humanity, I see two different groups at work. There are people that work towards destruction of the environment and of society and there are people that work towards construction and the betterment of the planet and humanity. So while something is breaking down, something else is being improved. It's not all negative and it's not all positive. Both are taking place at the same time. Which force will win in the end. I believe good is more powerful than evil, so it will win out.

Take care!
