Entropi, Şans ve Tanrı

Evrenin bir başlangıcının olup olmadığı ya da bu düzenin nereden geldiği gibi sorular, insanlığın en büyük merakıdır. Fakat 18. Yüzyılda sanayi devriminin ürünü olan buhar makinelerinin çalışma prensiplerinin keşfiyle birlikte doğan ter- modinamik ve özellikle onun ikinci yasası, evrenin sonluluğundan başlangıç şartlarının düzenliliğine değin merakımızı giderecek cevaplar sunar. Bu makale, entropi yasasını, klasik termodinamikteki keşfinden başlayarak istatiksel mekanike ve ihtimaliyetçi yorumlara değin incelemekte ve fizikten kozmolojiye değin sonuçlarını tartışmaktadır. Sonuç olarak ise makale evrenin başlangıç koşullarının maksimum düzenliliğini ihtimaliyet açısından değerlendirerek insan aklına göre Tanrının varlığına başvurmanın, evrendeki en düşük ihtimalin gerçekleşmesini umut etmekten daha makul olduğunu ileri sürmektedir.

Entrophy, Chance and God

The questions such as whether or not the universe had a beginning or whe- re it came from this regularity is the greatest curiosity of humanity. But, ther- modynamics and especially its the second law that was born with the discovery of the working principle of the steam engines which is the product of the indust- rial revolution offers answers to quench our curiosity from the finiteness of the universe to the regularity of the initial conditions. This article examines the law of entropy, from the discovery of classical thermodynamics to statistical mec- hanics and probabilistic interpretation and, discuss the results from physics to cosmology. Finally, the article argues that the appealing to the existence of God is more reasonable than to hope the realization of the lowest chance in the universe according to the human mind, by evaluating maximum regularity of the initial conditions of the universe from the perspective of probability.
