"As living entities reproduce, they are just re-arranging some of the matter/energy which has not dissipated thru entropy. "

If you can't understand HOW a more complex structure like a more complex molecule being built up by processes that process/transmute energy/matter from less complex components, 'displays entropy', i.e. the transition of energy from higher states to lower states, then you certainly won't benefit from me trying to expound and express thousands of PHD theses and millions of man hours of laboratory research in any length message that anybody would read here.

It's taken ME my whole life to just understand enough to peek under the rug.... and be totally unsatisfied by the 'my magical sky fairy did it all, now just shut up and obey me' approach.
