Are religions manmade and natural or supernaturally based?

I take it that I am being requested to comment.I am not expressing any such idea that infinite size beats infinite time. The steady state model involved an ongoing creation of matter/energy during the expansion of the universe. It is very simplistic to expect that after an infinite amount of time for dissipating energy that we would run out of energy given that model. But further, even absent that point, the argument given was too simplistic. Entropy increases during some processes, but simply changing the form of energy, say from kinetic to potential energy in a frictionless context, does not increase entropy.In short the accounting principles that lead to the prediction that in infinite time the universe would have to reach heat death are just plain sloppy. If those arguments are to be supported I would request more detail about how that would work. Dr. Adequate was asking for the same thing.The reason for mentioning Einstein or others who supported this model was to make the point that it was the CMB and not some simplistic application of the 1st or 2nd law of thermodynamics that did in the steady state model. Because supernatural stuff does not obey whatever laws you want to make. Proponents using this argument have a built in escape clause. Supernatural entities are not bound by any rules. They can be eternal without ever running out of usable energy. Everything has a cause. The universe cannot have a natural cause because nothing natural preceded the universe. If something natural did predate the universe, then the principle applies to its precursor. But supernatural, eternal beings don't have to follow this principle.Edited by NoNukes, : Tone down a bit

Really? Because as I count, ICANT has been provided with a number of possible answers which I would spell out roughly as follows:1) Not every natural thing requires a cause. Quantum mechanics provides examples of things that are not caused.
2) Time was created with the universe and therefore question about what existed before are meaningless.
3) The net energy of the universe is zero thus the requirement of a supernatural being to provide energy is not a requirement at all.
4) Colliding branes from another universe created the big bang.Have there been responses to these ideas that are of any substance? Or are all of those ideas simple evasions?
