	I want to sound off an idea I had, it may have flaws.
If any are found, please respond concisely, clearly and *politely*.
				Thank You

	Everything in this universe (once you get above Plank's 
constant and Schroedinger) has a cause. Every cause preceeds its
effects. This would leave me with one of two cunclusions; either
1- the universe (I mean space-time, which might have preceeded
the big-bang. What caused the big-bang, anyway?) is infinitely
old, or 2- there was a cause which is not of this universe that started
the whole thing.
	Now, if the net entropy of the universe never decreases,
wouldn't an infinitely old universe have to be infinitely entropous?
If the entrepy stayed constant for a stretch, we again have to ask
what *caused* the present trend to start?
