okay

Nice collection of asserted premises you got there. When will you make a reasoned argument with them so I can demolish it?

legitimately interested in your conjecture. care to elaborate?

Life is the living opposite of entropy, having advanced from a wet pile of protein soup, all the way into the highly ordered, highly structured, self-maintaining, self-organizing system that it is today.

Tell me which of these applies to life:

Entropy:
>1. Symbol S For a closed thermodynamic system, a quantitative measure of the amount of thermal energy not available to do work.
Has the amount of energy humanity has access to gone up or down?

>2. A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system.
The order of life has increased over time, from a minor barely observable, unimportant speck, up into the massive, significant force that it is today.

>3. A measure of the loss of information in a transmitted message.
Information in the genome and the organism have both increased over time.

>4. The tendency for all matter and energy in the universe to evolve toward a state of inert uniformity.
Life seems endlessly diverse. How many different spieces are there, compared to different molecules or forms of rock, etc?

>5. Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.
That's just like, your opinion, man.

'Cancer' is entropic, but life is not defined by cancer. Rather, death and cancer go hand in hand; death being antagonistic to and not a defining feature of life.

You will love this.

Spoiler Alert! Cancer always "wins"

How come organisms like yeast, which multiply 'cancerously' as soon as they have food available are ruled quite well by humans?

inb4 humans = cancer

ITT: Morons who don't understand thermodynamics.

Protip: No, that is not how thermodynamics works. Stop it, and go pick up a fucking physics book you shit.
