Dear Mr. Ophiolite, I shouldn't have used the word 'defy' in this context (as is the convention). What actuallly I meant was that all of the ANABOLIC life processes result in an increased order. All the natural (spontaneous) events tend towards a decrease in order (increased entropy). But we must also understand that all the CATABOLIC processes result in a decreased order, which goes on well with the nature. BUT PLEASE CONSIDER THIS: IF NOT FOR THE LATER PROCESS THE FORMER PROCESS WOULD HAVE not BEEN POSSIBLE!! Negentropy follows entropy, which in turn follows negentropy so on and so forth. This is the reason plants need a continuous supply of sunlight and we need our food. This INPUT of energy drives the eternal life's cycle.
