Gordon J. Van Wylen

Gordon Van Wylen, Chairman of the Dept. of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan commented that, __he question that arises is how the universe got into the state of reduced entropy in the first place, since all natural processes known to us tend to increase entropy?_ (Gordon Van Wylen and Richard Edwin Sonntag, Fundamentals of Classical Thermodynamics, 1973). He concludes by saying, __he author has found that the second law [of thermodynamics] tends to increase conviction that there is a Creator.
