Entropy and the Origin of Life - YouTube

This video is a discussion of the affect of energy on entropy as applied to the origin of life.Since even the simplest known living cell is far more organized and complex than there the basic chemical components that makeup a cell. As a result a living cell’s entropy is much much much much much much much lower than that their basic chemical components. Forming life from nonliving basic chemicals requires a tremendous reduction in entropy.  So any theory on the origin of life must be able to account for this tremendous reduction in entropy.
