Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics?
"For about 20 years I have devoted much of my mental and spiritual efforts to developing an understanding that provides me and others with a scientific foundation for what I see as the common denominator underlying apparently diverse religious beliefs. The principles of nonequilibrium thermodynamics provides the framework for this effort. This branch of physics deals with the flow of energy in open systems (the biosphere and all life forms) and has been pioneered by Ilyia Prigogine who received the Nobel Prize in chemistry for this work in 1977. Unlike equilibrium thermodynamics (classical) which cannot account for life other than by a miracle, this new branch can be viewed as mandating it. Evolution of complex systems, inclusive of creativity, are intrinsic to my interpretation of nonequibirium thermodynamics as being the prime manifestation of the will of God. From this perspective I would interpret man being made "in the image of God" as meaning that we must embrace God's fundamental characteristic of creativity, which includes cooperatively and evolutionary. This principle is most elegantly displayed in the evolution of the human brain and the political and social systems that have co-developed with it. Scientifically, it has been demonstrated that the number of THC (active ingredient in marihuana) receptors increases as one looks higher up the evolutionary ladder, and furthermore, these receptors are found in highest numbers in those portions of the brain associated with human intelligence. Therefore I conclude, both logically and religiously from personal revelation, that the stimulation of these receptors is involved in thought processes that are representative of the will of God, i.e. the creative process. Personal exploration of my receptors, in particular by altering their activity levels through the intelligent religious use of natural plant products, is mandated by everything that I know scientifically, and believe religiously. Thermodynamically speaking, for a stable steady state to evolve to a new regime, the fluctuations around the average of the variables of the system must expand and in fact mathematically approach infinity prior to a nonlinear rearrangement that will lead to a new stable steady state. I believe that this process will manifest itself socially and politically as "heaven on earth". Individually this rearrangement will be seen as a jump in man's average lifetime and average level of health and intelligence. Practically speaking this new age should be characterized by peace, harmony and love, all of which are characteristics that are required for the next level of social, individual and molecular cooperativity. I hope your organization can help me defend my constitutional rights against mindless authoritarianism."

Dr. Melamede, I salute you. God Bless You All.
Nonequilibrium Thermodynamics?
Good theory but I highly doubt that it would manifest itself socially let alone politically. I think heaven on earth will be when we blur the lines between human and machine and transcend our biology. It will be possible within your life time to have access to drugs/technology that will extend your life long enough to live forever.
