→Proximity of Objects: Consistent with the above, one view is that the entropy of a black hole is proportional to its surface area rather than to its volume.
+135
→Proximity of Objects: This fits well with the estimate of entropy -- the inverse of order -- as being proportional to surface area or radius squared.

Daily, or even hourly, disorder causes frustration and anger, which can then be turned against others or even God. But recognizing disorder as being caused by the Devil and easily overcome with fait

New Testament miracles that ostensibly appear to be an unrelated collection of violations of physical laws, can be more easily understood as natural signs when viewed as a triumph of order over disor

Biblical "miracles" -- the better translation is "signs" because they reflect an underlying reality rather than a departure from it -- present enigmas from a scientific perspective. They may well r

Yet both can be understood clearly and simply as an action of disorder (aging and Second Law)

The miracle of walking on water is more fully understood under a physical theory based on order/disorder than than a traditional view of gravity.

→Proximity of Objects: Specifically, order could be quantified as roughly proportional to the inverse of the surface area of the smallest sphere that encloses the objects.

the human eye is more ordered than other human organs

spatial proximity to other objects is more ordered than distant proximity

Are spatial considerations even relevant to relative amounts of ordering?

Cancer cells are typically highly disordered and chaotic in replication; curing cancer might be understood as restoring order.

Most of the objections to Noah's Ark are based on modern notions of disorder; perfect order would facilitate that monumental task and overcome most, if not all, objections.

Another advantage of this approach is that it casts new light on other miracles described in the Bible, such as walking on water or curing medical ailments. Those deeds might be understood simply as

Focusing on order and disorder as the defining principles for nature has this additional benefit: action at a distance is no problem. Field theories typically deny action at a distance.

At the time, that provided a fit to the observed data of a precession of 5600.0. Subsequently, however, more accurate measurements with more sophisticated technology have determined a precise value o

The challenge is to devise a metric for quantifying order, which can apply across all forms of ordering.
