How unlikely was the initial state of the universe at the Big Bang? Even with the right laws and constants, it is still improbable that chance alone could be responsible for our complex universe. To get a universe like ours, the initial state must be arranged in an incredibly precise way. We discuss entropy and the second law of thermodynamics and illustrate how they shed light on the ordered initial conditions of our universe. This leads to a third, independent argument for how we know that our universe has an intelligent cause.
