That is not how the 2nd law is usually stated. I'm not even sure whether "the total entropy of the universe" makes sense.

I'll take "word of God" as a metaphor for "the Bible." Why there are many interpretations is obvious enough. What the Bible itself says is actually rather straightforward. However, it is contains many contradictions and factual errors. Conservative Christian groups want to delude themselves into the belief that the Bible is inerrant. In order to so delude themselves, they must read their own interpretations into the Bible, instead of reading what it actually says. The reason that there are so many interpretations, is that there are many different Christian groups with their own made up theologies that they want to insist on reading into the text.
Personally, I think it makes more sense to read it as it is, warts and all.
