Some skeptics actually think the First Law of Thermodynamics (the law of conservation of matter and energy) refutes the second premise of the Kalam Cosmological Argument that the universe has a beginning. But does the First Law of Thermodynamics actually mean the universe existed infinitely and eternally in the past? William Lane Craig explains that many naive atheists do not have a realisitic understanding of the First Law of Thermodynamics and often skip and dodge the Second Law of Thermodynamics (the law of entropy), which is evidence for the beginning of the universe.
