It essentially means a universal tendency toward dissipation, degeneration, decay, and death. And it's not something you need to read in a book, it's something we all experience everyday.
Entropy = gradual decline.
Truth is we grow, we age, we die.
Jargon merely spin that to mean something else.
hydras are biologically immortal. They do not age or break down.
I'd like to ask the atheists here a few questions, one at a time, and get your responses to them. I have no "agenda" or big buildup to a "gotcha" at the end, I would just like your responses to each of the questions in this thread if you don't mind. I won't be arguing/debating what you say; they're just questions. Ok? Let's start...
Question 1: Do you believe that there was a chance merging of organic materials necessary at just the right time, circumstance, and environment to produce a living entity?

Okay, but if that is what's happening on Earth, then there would have to some giant outside source of energy supplying the Earth with huge amounts of energy. If there was such a source, scientists would certainly know about it.In the real world of physics, entropy can decrease if energy is added to a system.
1. I believe that life evolved on earth as a result of pure happenstance and that is why life may be very rare in the universe, but we just don't know how often and in what circumstances life can start, therefore we cannot know how prevalent (or not) it may be outside of earth.I'd like to ask the atheists here a few questions, one at a time, and get your responses to them.

NoThanks to everyone for your replies. As promised, here's question 2. I've also included Google's definition of homeostasis to ensure we're all talking about the same thing...
homeostasis -- the tendency toward a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. (Google)
Question 2: Do you believe in the existence of some form of intelligence that controls homeostasis in organisms?

Here's the last question. It's a "why" question so I won't be surprised to see a variety of answers. It's also obviously an essay question, so knock yourselves out. Thanks.
Question 4: After evolving for hundreds of millions of years, why does a life form start to degenerate just after birth only to destroy itself in a short period of time?
