Question

It has been argued by those who do not believe in evolution that a cell could not evolve because such an occurrence would go against the idea that there is a constant tendency in the universe towards spontaneous disorganization (an increase in entropy). How would you counter that argument?

Answer 1

By biological cell evolution , there is a constant tendency in the universe towards spontaneous disorganisation is not violated, because the above principle that entropy can only increase or remain constant applies only to a closed system which is adiabatically isolated and there is no exchange of heat or energy with its surroundings.

Whenever, an energy exchange can be done by a system or matter, an entropy decrease of the system is entirely compatible with this principle.
