It doesn't matter.

It most certainly does.

And I am not shifting goal posts, the whole point is that a single simple chemical reaction which produces a more "complex" chemical is not life. Life is a tremendously complex arrangement of chemical reactions, involving non-spontaneous reactions. If the spontaneous reactions are observed in this complex arrangement, we call that death.

Nope, you're trying to change the topic. The original assertion by the original poster was that the Second Law demands that light always break down molecules and never build them up. That assertion has been refuted.

As for your second assertion, you're operating from the argument from personal incredulity again.
