If you mean, "However INSIDE the body there is no chemical equilbrium", so what? that's why metabolism works. The inside of the body isn't a closed system, so it doesn't support any claim of violating the 2nd Law.Go for post above where I explained the relation of life and entropy better.
The WAP isn't an argument. Sorry, I thought I already mentioned that.An argument that can not be falsified even in theory is unscientific and that is not a matter of opinion.

OK; but what you actually said was, "...we know that all MATERIAL life forms should have a metabolism and that requires liquids but not carbon." I was curious to know what metabolisms we know that don't require carbon or that use liquids other than water.Astrobiology is speculating about life forms that don t require water or carbon but the requirements I stated are the known minimum.
Nobody said life 'could just be anything', but we don't know what life could be - we don't even have a good definition for life on Earth! It's reasonable to speculate that any universe that can support the development of complexity might support some form of life.I don't find it as speculative to consider universes that simply have different values to known natural laws (I am at least defining what I am talking about) than stating for example that life could just be anything.
Post #146, "...life violates this law..."
OK. Many natural systems decrease local entropy at the expense of an increase in overall entropy - so?That is indeed a slopy formulation of me. When I said "within it's own limits and for a limited time" what I ment by is it can not resist the law of increasing entropy in general". So while I formulated it slopy it should have been visible from the context what I ment.

Basically, any system that loses heat to its surroundings (cooling magma, water evaporating, crystallization), vortices & eddies (e.g. weather systems, whirlpools, turbulent flow), etc.I was not aware of that. Can you give me examples?

Doesn't mean there is, either.
Incredulity, a real fly in the ointment.the true God always tries to provide the souls with abundant and eternal life, even if they don't know there is a God
some scientists have examined physical elementary particles and laws, others have known (that there is a) God - btw, if there is a God, won't it be scientifically incorrect if scientists claim there is no God?!, or if scientists have not proven whether there is a God or not, but claim that they are sure He doesn't exist?!
i don't think that such complicated things as humans, animals, nature, cosmic bodies and structures are self-created - there must be something very huge or rather someone very big that created all those things
of course i am not going to impose anything or (to) intrude on you and others
Blessings
In the system that cools.Sorry I might be misunderstanding the concept but loosing heat to it's surounding decreases entropy - where - in the surounding?
In the system that cools.
No. Taking disorder as a crude measure of entropy (the number of system micro-states that give the same macro-state), hot things are more disordered than cool things, but heat-death is maximum disorder (all micro-states give the same macro-state). See Entropy.I am to long out of shool. I thought that a hot thing has low entropy and things that cool have high entropy with the universe dying the heat death having the highest entropy?
Also seems as if you've run out of valid points.

Some of the physics of this universe seems to be preprogrammed to create life. What is your favourite argument against such a line of thought? You can mention several arguments of course but I would like to know which one you prefere.
