Why is it that when we smash bugs, or kill animals, we think that the conglomeration of proteins and organs is "gross." When I think of something being gross, I think of someone immature shying away from something they feel is gooey, messy, or icky. Maybe the reason we wince away from the squished bug is not because it's dirty or sticky, but because to see something go from ordered and living to destroyed is unnatural and an abomination. It's not gross, it's mortifying to see something holy, creation, be killed and made into something it was never meant to be. I think that's why we wince.

Is entropy merely a reflection of the fall? Is the universe still actively falling from God?
