“Why? Nature inexorably proceeds towards “equilibrium” (Chemical Equilibrium), the most stable state. For example, the most stable state for amino acids in Nature is individual amino acids, not proteins.”

And yet for the short time you are alive, you have proteins. Don’t confuse entropy with short-term concentrations of energy and order. When you see that, you can understand how short-term fluctuations over long periods of time can lead to the concentrations of more complex chemicals needed to start life.

And random mutations rarely lead to life-threatening mutations, so a land mammal, over a long period of time, can be an ancestor of an orca.

We aren't.

You are confusing flowing water welling up on an obstacle for a river that runs uphill.

Name a couple of these random mutations that did not lead to a life threatening mutation. Because every single mutation I have ever heard of kills the host or makes it unlikely to survive in an unprotected environment.

Good!

Now you can get to work on your next PhD. Just prepare your dissertation as a proof.

Simple, right? And nobody has done it yet; the whole universe awaits your effort.
