First of all, I appreciate all of your comments (well, the CONSTRUCTIVE ones). Anyway, there is a lot of back-and-forth debate surrounding whether the law of entropy applies to evolution specifically. (This is, in part, trying to answer your question, Taz).
Okay, the evolutionist will say: "3.6 billion years ago, life evolved from primordial soup, and has since been getting more complex for the most part."
Then the creationist will say: "Not true--the second law of thermodynamics forbids an increase in complexity."
Following is the evolutionist who says: "Actually, the law of entropy doesn't apply to life, since the earth is an open system, and the sun adds energy to the earth."
So my addition to this debate is this: the universe itself is a closed system, and since the only energy in the universe is already inside it, then the origin of stars probably was of supernatural phenomena (i.e. God's creation). Also, the sun's energy is destructive unless you have something to harness and use the sun's energy. The sun is the reason you face dries up and turns red after long exposure; the sun is the reason you have to replace the roof on your house every several years; the sun is the reason a building will become condemned and require repairs. The sun's energy is only helpful to two things: man-made solar cells and chloroplasts. Other than that, the sun's energy will not help life.
