I appreciate your remarks. On this subject I know that I don't know. I just don't know what it is I don't know. But I have questions. I was taught that in nature all things "wind down", and that things move from "order to chaos". I find that these supposedly scientific facts do not square well with other scientific facts. I do not dismiss evolution out of hand even though I have never observed it. Neither do I except Intelligent Design just because I sense a programmer behind the Genetic Code.

"I was taught that in nature all things "wind down", and that things move from 'order to chaos'."

You got bad teachers.
In Kansas they are looking forward for this kind of teachers.

Nebulas of hydrogen form stars.
All higher elements were breed in stars from hydrogen.
20 gallons of water, a bin of proteins, another one of lipids, a cup of carbohydrates, some minerals and finally a touch of nucleic acid are much more ordered separated than working together in an human body.

And please don't mix up the term "entropy" used in physics with the term used in information theory. Just because thermodynamic entropy is always rising in an isolated system you can't derive from that anything about partial systems.
