Entropy Baffles Us

The God Delusion? Part 7

"How did evolution overcome entropy, the ceaseless march of the physical universe toward chaos and the deep freezer of "heat death"?"

~Deepak Chopra

From This Poem.

...

God overcomes entropy
For living things to live.
God wins. we win!

Nothing new from us.
Our ignorance shines
Again and again.

Unaware that in open systems
Can exist subset of systems,
Decreasing their entropy at
The expense of surroundings'.

Organisms suck nutrients/
Energy from their surroundings,
Their internal order increasing
While the external, decreasing.

We understand little
Science, and like our Vedic
Ancestors, see God everywhere--
Thermodynamics fails us.
