In logic:
1. The universe exists.
2. The universe cannot be infinitely old; because if it were infinitely old, it would have entered into a state of entropy a long time ago.
A. What is entropy? Entropy is the second Law of thermodynamics stating that all things are moving toward chaos and degradation. In other words, the universe is breaking down over a period of time and the energy in the universe is declining.
3. The universe is not in a state of entropy, it is in a state of constant expansion; therefore, it is not infinitely old.
4. Since the universe is not infinitely old, it had a beginning; it had to start somewhere.
5. The universe could not have created itself.
6. Something before the universe and greater than the universe had to bring the universe into existence, because without that something the universe would have no way of existing.
7. That something is and must be God.
