Yes — Les Feldick teaches that the second law of thermodynamics, the principle that everything is dying, degenerating, and becoming less usable, began operating when Adam sinned and the curse entered creation.
At the completion of creation, the first law of thermodynamics — that nothing is being created or destroyed — was in force, and nothing was deteriorating or dying. Les says the second law came into play when Adam sinned and death entered, and Romans 5:12 confirms that death passed upon all men through one man's sin.
Romans 5:12 — This is the key New Testament verse Les uses to show that Adam's sin brought death to all humanity, which is the point where he says the second law became operative.
Genesis 2:17 — This is the original command Les calls the first fundamental law, establishing death as the consequence of sin before the fall.
Scripture shows that death was not part of the original creation. In Genesis 2:17, God warned Adam that eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil would bring death. Later, Romans 5:12 explains that sin entered the world through one man, death through sin, and death passed to all people because all sinned. Romans 3:23 confirms that all have sinned and fallen short of God's glory. These verses establish the biblical link between sin, death, and the decay that affects humanity.
Les Feldick connects the second law of thermodynamics to the biblical account of creation and the curse. He explains that when God finished creation, the first law of thermodynamics was in operation: nothing is being created or destroyed. The creation was perfect, with nothing deteriorating, dying, or rotting. At that point, the second law was not in effect; death was unknown and creatures did not lose their lives to support other species. But when Adam sinned, the curse fell on all creation, and with the curse came death. From that moment, the second law of thermodynamics came into play: everything now dies, corrupts, and degenerates into a less usable state. Les also attributes the world's wars, sickness, disease, and enmity to this same curse, and says he ties this into good science.
Les states that the first law of thermodynamics says nothing is being created or destroyed. He places this at the completion of creation: when God had finished His work, the creation was perfect, with nothing deteriorating, dying, or rotting. He also explains the name: thermal means heat and dynamics means energy.
Les describes the second law as everything dying, degenerating, and going into a less usable state. He connects this directly to the biblical entrance of death through Adam's sin. From that moment on, everything dies, corrupts, and degenerates.
Les teaches that nothing died before Adam sinned; death was an unknown entity. Animals ate herbs, fruits, and grasses, so no life was lost to support another species. When Adam sinned, the curse fell on all creation, and with the curse came death. At that point the second law of thermodynamics came into play.
Les attributes the world's turmoil — war, pestilence, catastrophe, enmity, sickness, and disease — to the curse. He says everything connected with the world's problems comes back to the curse, and that once Adam sinned the human race became 'inhuman.'
Les calls God's warning in the garden the first fundamental law: the day Adam ate the forbidden fruit, he would surely die. Les also cites the repeated principle that the soul that sins must die, and that all have sinned and come short of God's glory.
The Curse Behind World's Problems
Les traces the world's wars, pestilence, sickness, and conflict back to the curse that followed Adam's sin, showing why decay and suffering are universal.
First Law at Creation
Les explains the first law of thermodynamics — nothing created or destroyed — and says it describes the perfect, non-deteriorating state of the original creation.
Second Law Begins with Death
Les defines the second law as everything dying, degenerating, and becoming less usable, and places its start at Adam's sin when death entered the human race.
Thermodynamics and God's Rest
Les connects God's finished creation and rest to the first law of thermodynamics, defining thermal as heat and dynamics as energy.
Death Entered with Sin
Les teaches that nothing died before Adam sinned — no species lost life to support another — and that the curse brought death to the whole creation.
The Wages of Sin vs. the Gift of God — Romans 6:23 Explained
The eternal doom, when they will be sent away from the presence of God, back over here in chapter 20, verses 11 through 15, at the great white throne, and then they will be sent to their eternal doom never again to have any contact, any kind of conversation with their Creator God, because they are totally separated. That is the spiritual death, separation from God. That's the second death.
What Are the 7 Bowl Judgments? Revelation 15–16 Explained
Why does God bring judgment and chastisement upon this generation because of something that three or four generations back they were guilty of? Well it's just the way God does it. You remember back in the verses that contain the Ten Commandments, what does He say? And I will visit down to the third and fourth generation. See that's the way God does things.
Death as God's Command
Les points to God's warning that eating the forbidden tree would bring death, and says the soul that sins must die — a divine mandate behind the second law's effect.
Genesis 2:17: But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
God's warning to Adam that disobedience would bring death, connecting to Les's teaching on when death entered.
Romans 5:12: Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:
Shows the universal spread of death through Adam's sin, the same point Les ties to the second law.
Romans 3:23: For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Confirms that all people are under sin and therefore subject to death.
Les describes it as the principle that everything is dying, degenerating, and going into a less usable state. He says this law became operative when Adam sinned and death entered, so everything now dies, corrupts, and degenerates.
No. Les teaches that the first law of thermodynamics — nothing being created or destroyed — was in place at the end of creation, and nothing was dying or rotting. The second law came into play only after Adam's sin and the entrance of death.
Les points to Genesis 2:17, where God said Adam would surely die, and Romans 5:12, where Paul says death passed upon all men because all have sinned. He also refers to Romans 3:23, that all have sinned and fall short of God's glory.
Les links the second law to the curse placed on creation after Adam's sin. Because of the curse, everything came under decay and death, and the world's wars, sickness, and other problems are all results of that curse.
