December 23, 2012: What Can We Know About the Future – Michael Hidalgo

There was a moment in time when things started. A moment when everything that was not suddenly was. The writer of Genesis explains this time as “the beginning.” Even scientists agree that there was a time when everything was like this. They can’t explain why, but there was a time when everything was in order. 

Then everything fell apart and it keeps falling apart. It is called Entropy. Things are spiraling out of control, and in a mysterious way this unraveling is pulling time forward with it. Order is giving way to chaos. Then, once again, there was a moment. John called it “the beginning.” Even though that time happened then – it is still happening now. We call it the incarnation. The moment when God became one of us. This is what we celebrate – all the time.
