Does entropy negate the theory of evolution?

[106024424]

I am probably super uninformed about this process, but as I understood it in biology, molecules collided randomly to eventually form complex molecular structures like DNA and such. The theory of entropy states that the universe goes from order to disorder. In this case, a bunch of disordered molecules collided to form ordered molecules. Does this mean the theories directly negate each other?

No, it basically means that energy was required for these molecules to combine to form complex structures. The universe goes from ordered to disordered spontaneously, but when these processes were occurring, energy was being provided, so it could go from disordered to ordered.

Hi! Yes! Rohan's explanation is correct. You are right in that there is a tendency to always go towards the state of more disorder (ie: higher entropy), however, since energy is provided for more complex processes to occur, we can understand why the universe is as complex as it is.
