First congrats to you as you have been here for a short period of time and have placed a winner in the right place, the Backroom. Personally, I like to state complex things as conceptually simple as possible, so here goes...

The Universe and the non-living entities on Earth:

Imagine a ball rolling down a very tall mountain, just about everything can be predicted as it transfers its energy into other forms. However, the ball could never climb as that would be an increase in potential energy, which cannot happen naturally.

The living as observed on Earth and, to date, no where else in the Universe:

Imagine the same ball rolling up the mountain, and nothing can be predicted except the distance it has traveled can be guesstimated. The potential energy of the ball appears to be increasing as the ball rolls up the hill.

Again, as stated earlier, if SETI has found nothing, Earth appears to be unique with its balls rolling up hills.

Again, I could not present as good an argument against evolution as the PhD Organic has presented.

There is no argument against biological evolution, except a
trumped up one. If there were any evidence that the TOE is not true, it would no longer be the TOE. Science discards wrong headed ideas, unlike creationuts.

The TOE contains nothing about original creation and nothing about balls rolling up or down hill. Analogies like yours are useless against millions of facts that all fit together into a coherent theory.
