I like John Luc Picard's take. ;-)

"Considering the marvelous complexity of our universe, its clockwork perfection, its balances of this against that… matter, energy, gravitation, time, dimension, pattern, I believe our existence must mean more than a meaningless illusion. I prefer to believe that my and your existence goes beyond Euclidian and other “practical” measuring systems… and that, in ways we cannot yet fathom, our existence is part of a reality beyond what we understand now as reality."

The universe is going toward entrophy. Life is organizing energy, and doing the opposite. So life is swimming upstream in a river of entropy.


The universe is going towards entropy in a closed system. The Earth is not a closed system.
