 I once remember reading about statistical thermodynamics

 I came to the basic conclusion which I think is true that:
 Low entropy is good.
 High entropy is evil.
 If you then use summum bonum as a definition of
a supreme being then you might or might not proceed
from there.
 I am thinking that statistical thermodynamics is the
start of 'information theory'.  The 'probability
of a state divided by all possible states'.  Or
Boltzmann's S = k log W.  Then if you just go
for heat flow definitions then heat tends to
flow from hot objects to cold objects rather
than cold objects to hot objects, which I think
tends to be true.
 I generally do not think that true concepts become
outdated.  They are more eternal than the universe.
You sound like a high school drop out. Jump in my kill file bag yet one more time.
