	No, Yosi, there is nothing inherently evil about entropy. But an
examination of how it is used by the Damager-God makes it clear what his
intentions are. You say ``there are many more random states than ordered
states,'' making it more likely that transitions will be into random states.
Well, who is responsible for that if not God Himself? Why is the tendency
for a closed system to lean towards disorder? Doesn't that sound peculiar
to you? Maybe it is doing that because the system is not closed at all,
because a Damager-God sticks His hand into it and wreaks havoc.
