I'm not angry.
I tried to state it as simply as possible after 'What?' as a reply.

What exactly was wrote with what I posted?

heat transfers at the speed of light under ideal conditions but requires many interactions to reach equilibrium, so within our universe expansion is outstripping thermalization.

because expansion includes a period of time in which the universe expanded faster than the speed of light, and now includes a new source of energy, it may well be impossible for the universe to ever reach thermal equilibrium.

Also entropy cannot do anything after heat death because entropy can not increase more than heat death.

I got quite annoyed after the Haiti earthquake. A baby was taken from the wreckage and people said it was a miracle. It would have been a miracle had God stopped the earthquake. More wonderful was that a load of evolved monkeys got together to save the life of a child that wasn't theirs. ~Terry Pratchett

In this forum, you do not roleplay a nation; you post as who you are, the player behind it. Do you think there is a god?

Do ideas exist? They certainly aren't matter and not necessarily properties of matter, do processes exist? Actions? Concepts?

In our minds yes, they don't really 'exist' though until we make them exist with our own hands.

Yes, they are matter. In a way.

actually they are physical patterns in matter, neural tissue, as are concepts.
Actions are alterations in matter.

I consider myself to be a very weak Deist. I believe in god, but I don't accept the claims made by mainstream theism. I don't believe in faith, I don't believe in arguments from revelation, I don't believe in ID or watchmaker analogies. It's just my study of the arguments for the existence of god that leads me to believe they're more probable than the negation.
