I need to put another authoritative figure behind what I have just said.. During the second world war, 1944, Erwin Schrodinger wrote "What is Life" in which he discussed the complexity of life at its most basic level ie molecules and the concept of negative entropy or (negentropy). Remember at that time they had not discovered DNA and could only speculate as to what was happening at the molecular level. I won't go into detail now but you should instantly note the two words COMPLEXITY and negative ENTROPY as being in my 'infamous' list.
Well in connection with concepts of God in that book toward the end Schrodinger concludes "WE ARE GOD".. you see the point. There is no doubt about the position, its either some transcendent infinite mind or its ME.. that is my only real option. This is the choice we all make every moment of our lives. Its precisely why I must answer the question what does the physical evidence around me actually say and what does it mean.
He was quite correct in his perception of the problem of 'life from nature'. Life is an extremely low entropy state of matter, highly organized (ordered). He was also well aware of the power of the Second Law (increasing entropy => disorder). A most formidable challenge to any theory of natural evolution of life. So what does he come up with negative entropy or 'negentropy'. Simply put living things eat and by eating stuff with a lower entropy relative to the surroundings all living creatures process that food effectively extracting low entropy components which contribute directly allowing growth, repair, reproduction and evolution through minute change. All quoted today by R Dawkins etc.. Only one problem IT'S WRONG!
Digestion pulls food proteins apart, destroying the original order so individual amino acids can be reused in a new order (new proteins). None of the original order is preserved much less used.
got to go.. regards
