That's entropy physicist. Entropy. Not creating 'order' as in (life) from disorder as in (nothing).

Again, you cannot create order from nothing. Any scientist will come out and tell you that.

It just doesn't happen.

A better word would be "chaos" in this case. (in the classical term)

You cannot create a structure out of chaos.

Entropy is the natural logarithm of the number of accessible quantum states. It is a measure of disorder. Entropy increases over time. The salt crystal is ordered. Where did that order come from?

Again, you cannot create order from nothing.

But life didn't start from "nothing", and nobody claims it did.

Any scientist will come out and tell you that.

I am a scientist and I'm telling you you're flat-out wrong.
