Let's not bother with what 'others' have explained...try to explain the ATP cycle in terms of Physo-chemical laws of equilibrium. And if you can't see the difference between a cell and a snowflake, don't ask me and I won't get exasperated with your level of 'science'...creationist OR darwinite.

My level of science? You are the one trying to use the 2nd law of thermodynamics on an open system.
And you question my level of scientific knowledge? Please, let's not even go there.
I try to keep it simple for you, so you question my knowledge. A snowflake is just as unlikely as a lifeform coming about from primordial ooze, but the snowflakes happen all the time. Minerals crystalize into very complicated structures without any sign of intelligence guiding them, and they are just as unlikely.
You and your game of statistics and the misuse of same, and your game with the second law of thermodynamics and again, your misuse of same.
Statistical analysis will get you no where on the questions of the origins of life, because you cannot put together every concievable variant to put into the equation, so your statistics are at best guesses, and not very good ones at that, and your misuse of the 2nd law. The earth is not a closed system, therefore the 2nd law does not and cannot apply.
And you question my scientific knowledge?
