While I do not claim to know, I feel fairly certain that God does not play by rules devised by human beings.

I believe that the story of God’s people does have an end, which is made meaningful in the words of the the Bible, a text I trust. So, yes, I believe the creator can destroy everything. I mean, there is the story of Genesis and the destructive power of the flood that destroyed basically everything except a chosen few; so, why not again?
