I'm not much of a physicist, but if you do a quick search in Google for "Laws of Thermodynamics" you'll quickly find a summary.

The first law states that energy cannot be created or destroyed; it can merely change state. The second law talks about entropy. If you put two and two together, you'll quickly realise that these two facts mean that the universe CANNOT have existed forever; something must have created it. Indeed, scientists call the moment of the big bang "creation". I find it very difficult to believe that in an entropic multiverse, the universe could have just *happened*. Much easier to believe is that there is some eternal order behind our existance.
