A very interesting philosophical view on the apparent inconsistency between for example increase in complexity when life developed on earth and the second law of thermodynamics.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOW_hEfMimI I quote from the description of the presentation: "Complexogenesis Increasing entropy is often glossed as increasing disorder or randomness. But in the evolution from the low-entropy early universe to the high-entropy future, complex structures apparently come into existence along the way. This isn’t in violation of the Second Law, as the formation and persistence of complex structures can be entropy-increasing processes; but it does raise the question of whether the appearance of complexity is automatic, and what kinds of rules govern it. I will propose a classification of different kinds of complex physical structures, discuss when and how they arise dynamically in undirected thermodynamic evolution, and relate them to issues of information and statistical physics."
