Yes , when one looks back to the very flash beginning its the most fascinating piece of stupidity for the witless to overlook that first assembly of energy into particles & formation of atoms is a form of self assembly & 1rst beginnings of self organization of the universe . Ever increasing information storing & encoding goes all the way back to the beginning on quantum level , why i like what preceded that passage that points to evolution as built upon already existing tendencies for higher chemical self organization .

Creationists have no choice in the end but to accede, go back to their dubious scriblings & let the real science do its work . Of course we all know that all cut n pastes the odd balls here are published from obscure odd ball websites that have barely any recognition or legtimacy in the greater world of information .

The self-organization feature of complex adaptive systems may worry the Creationists some more. They have been busy attacking Darwin and his followers for the ‘blasphemies,’ and have been trying to argue that the fascinating degree of order observed in living creatures cannot possibly be the result of a series of ‘accidents’ in the form of mutations etc.

then ends with that

Darwin or no Darwin, complex adaptive systems have the fundamental property that they self-organize into states of high (and ever-increasing) degree of order, so long as they are able to exchange matter and energy with the surroundings. Darwinian natural selection does lead to some increase of complexity and order but, by and large, it only hones the already available order and complexity to help a population adapt itself to the prevailing conditions.
