Dear Sister in Christ,
Please allow me a brief respite from doing battle with the onerous RINORick Perry to "revise and extend" your remark:
"...everything that lives selectively transforms disorder[ed input] into order -- and increases disorder by ejecting the remainder as heat, respiratory effluvia, excreta, etc... . Everything that dies moves from order to disorder."

Picky, picky PChemist... '-)
Sorry, didn’t intend to exclude the rest of you... :-{
