I am not arguing for information degradation in a single celled organism. I do say that everything in space/time - whether a live amoeba or a dead amoeba - is subject to the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

It would be remarkable if something were found to be unaffected by thermodynamics.

But there is a common notion amongst evolution critics that living things degrade as a result of entropy, and that this is an inescapable law of nature.

I'm merely offering a counterexample.

I must have missed it- what was your coutner example? The fact that maoebas were never dead once vefore they were alive?

The 2nd law of thermodynamics is inescapable.

Every "thing" in space/time pays that tab. Even the amoeba.

And the thermodynamic tab is paid by living organisms when communications has occurred, i.e. when the receiver [molecular machine] moves from the before state to the after state heat is dissipated into the local environment.
