Entropy suggests this absolutely shouldn't be happening - without intervention, forms should go from more complex to more simple due to entropy.
In a closed system, entropy holds true.
However, the earth is not a closed system. The sun provides a bunch of energy.
If you are saying a life form, well again, it is not a closed system. When it eats, it gets energy. I'm not sure what you are getting at.

Now - if evolution has occurred as postulated, certainly that was/is a chaotic process - and the more widespread life became, the possibilities for interaction expanded geometrically.
It's not chaotic, it is random. If those random changes are helpful, those traits tend to get passed on.

My son's room is a perfect example.
Why does it always seem like I'm the one combating entropy by providing energy into my son's room?
