What does entropy have to offer us as individuals?
Part II of II
Entropy implies the universe is temporary, which implies there is something that is not temporary.
Something is eternal.
Something appears to have no connection to time, for time appears to be an idea that depends upon the existence of mass.
But that is another idea altogether.
Although entropy may assign a hopeless state to the universe, it will die at the same time it offers hope to each of us as individuals.
By introducing the idea of our universe dying, entropy alludes to the idea of eternal existence.
This suggests the possibility of something nonphysical, such as awareness, being able to transcend the physical universe.
Entropy offers us a sense of hope.

The conceptual framework of entropy offers us eventual ‘death’ for our universe.
If we are a part of our universe and if eternity does not exist, then the apparent conclusion would be that all individuals would eventually die away permanently.
All the struggles to overcome adversity and temptation will have had no meaning, no significance.
But if something exists beyond our universe, this changes.
If there is a Causative Force, as the science of entropy implies, and if the Causative Force is all present, as religions imply, then the easiest way for us to understand the manner in which we, as individuals, can escape death, the ultimate fate of the universe, is to understand that our awareness is tied to, becomes a part of, total awareness or the omniscience of the Causative Force.
As such, hope emerges. Entropy brings us hope.
