Why Does Complex Life Exist?

The universe is constantly increasing in entropy, more disorder and more combinations of randomness. Image by CreepyPasta Wiki

As a college freshman talking to an audience who is most likely older than me, almost everyone of you have taken a chemistry or physics class where entropy, enthalpy, or Gibbs free energy have been mentioned. This article is going to focus more on entropy.

In case you’ve forgotten, entropy is the lack of order or predictability; gradual decline into disorder. In our universe, a positive sign for entropy is thermodynamically favored. Also, entropy is always increasing in the universe. The equation ΔSuniverse=ΔSsystem +ΔSsurroundings, where ΔSuniv is always positive, can show how something like complex life can exist. For example, the ΔSsystem would be a human while the rest of the universe would be the ΔSsurroundings. So something as complex as human life could exist if the ΔSsys is a negative number because the ΔSsurr could be more positive and overcome it so that the ΔSuniv would still be positive.

There is one flaw in this argument though, and that is that complexity and disorder are two totally different things. Here is a YouTube video that explains this in detail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTFY0H4EZx4 to be continued
