I’ve often seen this used to “debunk” the Big Bang theory, in that essentially nothing became everything that you see today. This universal law is fundamentally disproving a theory proposed by the same scientific community that established Thermodynamics as a law. I’m not here to act as if I can provide a logical rebuttal to prove how any non-creation theory can co-exist with the law of Thermodynamics; I’m here to turn the tables.
According to Creationist, the Universe and everything inside of it was created through the will of a God. This God took nothing and created everything that you see around you. Now correct me if I’m wrong here, but did the creator God not just take nothing, and make something out of it? Does not that logically go against a Universal law that you yourself just used to attempt to disprove another theory with?
I don’t mind you saying that these laws do not apply to God, but I do mind when you turn the same law, that you don’t agree with, to attempt to disprove something else.

Just repeating myself, but….
I’d just like to point out that the Big Bang doesn’t claim something from nothing. It claims that space-time used to be much smaller(that is, the dimensions in it were extremely compressed), and through a mechanism we don’t understand, all the matter currently in the universe, was compressed into a small space, usually compared to the size of a tennis ball. For one reason or another, the space-time dimensions suddenly expanded (exponentially or all at once to its present size), freeing all matter in the universe from unfathomable pressure. Thus matter was flung out across space from the sudden release of pressure and extreme energy of being that compressed. The violence of this explosion is evidenced even today by cosmic background radiation.
Or at least, thats the way I understand it to be.
