But how did it get there? The current "scientific" viewpoint is that the universe existed in a state of chaos, and out of that life generated itself. That's the reverse of entropy. Additionally, if the universe is tending toward chaos, it will eventually get there unless something occurs to change that
Science is based on observable phenomena. Since we have never observed anything besides conservation and entropy, that's all we can go on. That doesn't mean no other rules *could* be in effect -- only that they have not been observed.
The idea behind a scientific approach: Observe. Apply the simplest explanation to the data (Occam's razor).
In my opinion, creation is simpler than "the universe has always been"/ evolution. You may disagree, and I think that's a valid viewpoint, just not one I share.
