    5. This seems to be the opposite of the entropy that governs all inorganic organization where concentrations of energy move toward an even distribution, whereas life seems to be a collector of energy, depositing and holding it within the various organic structures that make up the many forms of life

    12. The Red Queen rules the universe; entropy is her only curse


    13. And, then, an insight strikes me: why this spontaneous order from the inevitable disorder? Why a pocket of increasing order—why anti-entropy—in a universe ruled by increasing disorder (increasing entropy)? If the unbreakable second law of thermodynamics says that entropy or disorder must increase with time in a closed system such as our universe, then why should life—which is an increasing-order or decreasing-entropy or anti-entropy process—arise and flow against the iron law of increasing disorder? This can be compared to a tiny stream suddenly springing up in the middle of a raging river and then flowing against the river's direction


    14. So what gave rise to this countercurrent stream? This revolutionary programme we call life? This programme that conflicts with the second law of thermodynamics and the fabric of the cosmos? And who or what created this deviant programme—and for what purpose? Chance, alone, cannot account for life or increasing order or anti-entropy in a universe bound by increasing entropy over time


    15. For chance would naturally and necessarily lead to disorder or increasing entropy or loss of information over time: that is the ultimate point of the second law of thermodynamics


    16. By chance, or randomness, the entire universe must increase in entropy with time—must become more disordered and contain less usable energy over time


    17. Of course, entropy can also be the measure


    18. to death or to entropy, nor is it subject to the laws of gravity that pertain to the
