Your link doesn't explain squat. You claim evolution is thermodynamically impossible because of the number of potential states. Yet, my human body is incredibly complex, on the order of an evolutionary organism, and yet my body doesn't defy the thermodynamic laws in any observable way I've heard of. No violations of mass-energy conservation, if I'm stuck in a closed bottle I'll decay according to the 2nd law, I have to sweat to shed heat.

In short, I am a creature that is at the same level of complexity as you claim is thermodynamically impossible.

In other words, you are full of it.

I never said your body defies thermodynamics. Your body is the thermodynamic mechanism and it has to be an incredibly complex mechanism. If we examine how a baby develops from an embryo to a fully developed person, the process is very precise. There is no room for error. All the processes are controlled precisely, otherwise you would be left with a cancerous blob. There are also limits imposed on the thermodynamic mechanism. It is limited by its functionality. If you then try to explain the biological development of new systems on evolution, you are left with an incomplete mechanism. It goes back to the heart of thermodynamics -- the most probable states win out. Given the precision required for the advancement, there is not enough time to explain the development. This is especially noticeable in the Cambrian explosion where a multitude of different lifeforms rapidly appeared.
