Order can arise locally at expense of entropy increasing globally. This is why snowflakes or other crystals form for example.
Living things are distinguished by their specified complexity. Crystals such as granite fail to qualify as living because they lack complexity; mixtures of random polymers fail to qualify because they lack specificity. [L. Orgel, The Origins of Life, John Wiley, NY, 1973, p. 189]
The open systems argument does not help evolution. Raw energy cannot generate the specified complex information in living things.
So you used a very special word here. That word was cannot.
Please prove that raw energy cannot do what you claim it can't do.
If you could do that you'd be famous!
