The original Hebrew uses the past definite tense for the verb “finished,” indicating an action completed in the past, never again to occur. The creation was “finished”—once and for all. That is exactly what the First Law of Thermodynamics says. This law (often referred to as the Law of the Conservation of Energy and/or Mass) states that neither matter nor energy can be either created or destroyed.
It was because of this Law that Sir Fred Hoyle’s “Steady-State” (or “Continuous Creation”) Theory was discarded. Hoyle stated that at points in the universe called “irtrons,” matter (or energy) was constantly being created. But, the First Law states just the opposite. Indeed, there is no “creation” ongoing today. It is “finished” exactly as the Bible states.
Genesis 2:1 Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.

“finished”= Third Law of Thermodynamics? Epic fail.
Ah, logic.
Premise 1: The bible says heavens and earth are finished.
Premise 2: Neither matter nor energy can be either created or destroyed.
Conclusion: The authors of the bible knew about the first law of thermdynamics.
No, wait, that’s not logic. That’s a non-sequitor: a logical fallacy.
And even if it were valid logic, it wouldn’t be a “scientific fact”. It would be a reasoned conclusion. Words have meanings, you know.
Ray claims, according to his interpretation, that the universe says that the universe is finished. Really Ray? What about the stars that are in the process of formation? What about the stars that are being destroyed? We don’t live in a static universe Ray.
I mean this is old news. Galileo pointed this out.
