"In relation to the second law of thermodynamics, might it be about the same as the buildup of complex elements during the life cycle of stars? Lots of things get organized in a complex fashion. Certainly this does not violate the second law."
Umm no. The life cycle of stars is clearly explainable by natural processes. Assembling something infinitely more complex then the computer you are pecking away at is something entirely different. I think the SETI analogy is relevant to this discussion. If randomness can account for extreme complexity, then why hasn't SETI found even the simplest pattern yet?

So a star is not as complex as a hydrogen atom?
