It is true that in the history of human thinking the most fruitful developments take place at those points where two different lines of thought meet. These lines may have their roots in different human cultures, different times, different cultural environments, or different religious traditions.

If they meet; if they are at least so much related to each other that a real interaction can take place, then one may hope that new and interesting developments may follow.

TAO 4- The Source of Everything

The Tao is like an empty container:
it can never be emptied and can never be filled.
Infinitely deep, it is the source of all things.
It dulls the sharp, unties the knotted,
shades the lighted, and unites all of creation with dust.

It is hidden but always present.

I don't know who gave birth to it.
It is older than the concept of God.

The thermodynamic drive is a law, not an object, thing, or measurable quantity.  It was the initial creative force at the beginning of the “time arrow” or Big Bang.  It has been present forever and will remain unchanged forever.  You can’t touch it, describe it, or change it.

If you choose an anthropomorphic god, all it had to do was invent the law for our universe to exist.
