Square the existence of life with the Second Law.

Can't be done. The "life direction" runs counter to the direction of the Second Law. Yet matter seems entirely under that law. So how can life emerge from non-life?

The "life direction" runs counter to the direction of the Second Law.

If that is true then the Second Law is false and it can't be used to argue anything.

Except that thus far there's no indication that the Second Law is false, because life does not, in fact, run counter to it. You need to look up the term "closed system".
