definition of entropy:
A measure of the disorder or randomness in a closed system.
Inevitable and steady deterioration of a system or society.
how can going from a single cell bacteria to a multi-billion cell organism with a heart, brain, circulatory and nervous systems all in a delicate balance be considered deterioration, random, or disorderly?
