For a reminder the first and second law of thermodynamics is
1. The total energy of a system and its surroundings is conserved. In other words it energy cannot be created or destroyed.
2. The total entropy of any isolated thermodynamic system tends to increase over time, approaching a maximum value. Or in other words The energy in a certain system becomes more "unusable" and dispersed over time.
This does not prove or disprove the existence of God and I believe it is truely impossible to do either. There are only two options in my mind -
1. God eternal. God created the universe or created the elements needed to start the evolutionary process.
2. Energy is eternal. Energy as we know it has always existed and was there to begin the evolutionary process.
I have a hard time believing that every 'law of physics' that our galaxy seems to be based on were null and void before our universe and will be so once again when our universe dies. Something had to start the process. If you want to go back to a big bang. Then where in the cosmos did the big bang begin. I have even heard that there once was another universe that imploded and our universe evolved from the energy left from that one. So where did that one come from? Either God or Energy are eternal - which is it? Or what is it that is eternal?

Hmm, I would have to say that you won't ever now the answers to these questions until you die, and perhaps not even then. Best not to worry about it.
I think that looking for the definitive answer is a mistake anyhow, you learn so much more by asking the question, and then another, and another.
