disrupt, disperse, or end, e.g., a fruit will decay and “return to seed” if not harvested or eaten “at the right time;” we build cars for transportation and they deteriorate to the point of needing “a junk yard” or “salvage yard;” we are conceived and born, to then mature, age, and eventually die.
Thus, “Entropy,” is a “naturally unfolding phenomenon” that may be present in almost all situations that involve any process, event, activity, function, or performance, within the framework of “the Law of Transformation” that inheres in this Universe.
Things will repeat in periodic cycles during which they’ll process relatively the same variables in order to produce the same outputs, e.g., Seasonal Cycles.
This pattern or template of “reiterative cycling,” is consistent with the Law of Energy Transformation. Thermodynamics requires Entropy because physical processes must have a beginning and an end, while preserving Conservation in their duration or during their “life-span.” But, as we know, even Energy Transformation has its “limits and boundaries,” including the “laws” governing its “scientific operations.”
Consequently, from our own characteristic “way of being” as Humans, which we call “Human Nature,” we suffer from sinfulness; and from the physical processes intrinsic to the existence of the Earth as a “living Planet,” to which we usually refer as “Nature or the natural environment,” inhere the “entropic patterns” of decay or degradation, of which, we also partake, due to our biological physiological body that is engineered by our Creator to be subject to the same “entropic patterns of processing” belonging to the course of the natural environment, e.g., we can get bacterial infections that cause fever; we eat, to digest, and dispose of waste matter; and our lives do end eventually, in “death,” to be honorably buried in the cemetery of our choice.
From “all frames of reference” that we encounter during our temporary existence on the Earth, we are pummeled by certain “Species-specific deficiencies,” such that they can be categorized or classified as: “character flaws,” as “biological impairments,” or as “failed environmental adaptations,” e.g., a person can become or learn to behave as a habitual thief; a murderer; or a liar;; or we can come face-to-face with a “biological impairment” contracted during a certain activity, accidental or deliberate, or in absence of sanitary conditions that sterilize our environment, whereby we might get diseases that may result in death, such as, in contracting AIDS; or we may be involved in an accident, such as during “bad weather,” while driving a vehicle or flying a plane, due to which we might suffer harm, damage, or injuries.
According to our analysis, then, we can conclude that, first, our own “Human nature,” and the “Natural environment” present certain limitations upon, not only the thoughts and ideas we might entertain so as not to get injured in some way or another, — some thoughts or ideas could be dangerous, harmful, lawless, or unjust, if executed, — but also the types of behaviors we might choose to engage in, some of which, could be fatal or deadly, e.g., jumping while inebriated, from a skyscraper, without a parachute or without some other forms of protective gear that would then prevent us from “smashing” against the building or against the ground.
Thus, we might conclude that Human nature is flawed or plagued by “sinfulness.” And the Universe, or the physical-material environment of the Earth, or what we call the “natural environment,” is also marred by “Entropy.”
Biologically, we are “doomed to sin;” and environmentally, our transactions and relationships with the Universe are subject to Entropy.
But because our biology must also transact with the environment in ways that sustain our existence, our bodies of flesh-and-blood, are also subject to “Entropy,” e.g., our lungs breathe as they extract Oxygen from Earth atmosphere that is primarily composed of Nitrogen, Oxygen, and Hydrogen in addition to inert gases, such as Neon, and Helium, hence, “good reasons” to keep the air “as clean as possible.” And that goes for the Water sources and wellsprings, as well as, for the soil comprising our natural environment or Earth ecology.
Given that we were created “from the dust of the ground of the earth,” as stated in the Holy Bible; — or, given that even “Evolutionists” believe that we “emerged” from the same “cosmic soup of chemicals and elements” formed in the “Goldilock Zone” since after the so-called “big bang singularity explosion,” — then, our Human Nature suffers from a combination of both “sinfulness” and “Entropy” — that we have to breathe Oxygen and we must drink clean sweet Water in order to continue to live; that we might contract fatal illnesses and diseases due to bacterial or viral infections that can result in our death; by immorally engaging in corrupt, unnatural, and abnormal sexual activities, such as sodomy and then contracting AIDS, or “Human Papilloma Virus” (HPV), accountable for some forms of deadly cancers.
Thus, “sinfulness” also “meets” or “combines with Entropy” to cause harm, damage, injury, disease, or death to Human Beings.
The very physical environment in which we live, and which we share on the Planet, contains the same cycles of repetitiveness or re-iterative patterns of flawed operations, as our own biological bodies.
Thus, these parameters, conditions, variables, circumstances, and conditions, can configure in a constellation of events or processes that can impact the ways in which we think and act, e.g., an already physiologically impaired person can experience fears and anxieties when he or she hears thunder or see lightning, that are so severe, as to result in “a heart attack;” and other events or phenomena, sum of which, can also affect the society, or “social environment” we share, e.g., a volcanic eruption can create mayhem, havoc, injuries, and extremely chaotic disruptions that can result in fomenting great emotional distress and the death of many Human Beings.
Biology is “sinful;” the Universe and the Earth, our material-physical environment, is “entropic!” And Sinfulness does, at times, “commiserate” with Entropy!
So, “Where do we go from here?” How do we get delivered from our “genetic-biological history” of travails and tribulations? How do we overcome our “spiritual being-ness” or “Human predicament,” to which is attached an innate tendency or moral predisposition” to lead us astray?”
Scriptures reveal that: “With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” (Matthew 19:26).

LIVING WITH “ENVIRONMENTAL STRESSORS”
We’re sinful in spiritual character or our “Human nature” is very flawed and error-prone. “Imagination of the thoughts of the heart:” The very distinctive quality of being able to extract abstract understanding from both our natural and social environments, — is accompanied by “weaknesses, shortcomings, flaws, and imperfections!” That is, our biological bodies also suffer from Entropy, not just “sinfulness.” (Genesis 6:5; Hebrews 4:12–13.)
As we partake of the same “flawed reiterative patterns of operations,” sum of which, might eventually be conducive to the termination of our existence, which we call death, both sinfulness and Entropy plague our essential capacities or potentialities, from which we inherit our capabilities to “scientifically relate,” i.e., in spiritual ways that “make sense the right way” to each other and to our environments: Our own inner-self, Nature, and society, e.g., industrial pollution might endanger our sweet water supplies, sources, and wellsprings.
In fact, both sinfulness and Entropy are intrinsic to our “Human Nature,” spiritually and biologically. We thrive on the Earth as “living organisms” who must transact with our physical-material environment, in ways that are so
