Evolution states just the opposite, "Entropy degenerates into complex systems." I've always thought this was an interesting question... no-one has ever seriously explained it away.

Two points: First, evolution says nothing about the creation of increasingly complex information structures; it can go either way. It just turns out that our environment sometimes allows slightly more complex systems to survive as more sophisticated organisms are usually more adaptive. Second, I don't think entropy means what you think it means, and "complexity" is utterly non-descriptive when talking about thermodynamics. Everything involving thermodynamics is in terms of entropy and enthalpy; there are only four components to the Gibb's free energy equation, and "complexity" isn't one of them.

You've proven that YOU know nothing. Have you ever seriously looked at Thermodynamics versus evolution? The two ARE at odds. When you quit fawning over your amoeba god, look a little HARDER.

Here's a little tip. Look at the basic tenets of the faith of evolution. (It IS a religion. It takes faith to believe in and people to spread the faith. It even has it's own system for collecting donations from it's supplicants.) Look at how it fails to describe certain things.. like how certain systems show up without intermediate steps and fully functional. Now, look at how it and it's supplicants literally state, "That's the way it is, stop asking questions." Gee, that's hard to swallow.

I always ask questions and look at things. THAT is why I am distrustful of evolution. It assumes to tell you not to ask questions. And when you stop that, you cease to learn. So look again.
