Theoretical physics shows "irreducible complexity" arguments invalid.

Theoretical physics shows "irreducible complexity" arguments invalid.
Are fundamentally invalid.

Entanglement may also wreak havoc at the particle level with causality:

Quote:If the new line of research is correct, then the story of time’s arrow begins with the quantum mechanical idea that, deep down, nature is inherently uncertain. An elementary particle lacks definite physical properties and is defined only by probabilities of being in various states. For example, at a particular moment, a particle might have a 50 percent chance of spinning clockwise and a 50. . .

And while thermodynamics states systems tend toward entropy -- but only in sealed systems, which seems to be the #1 misapplication of claiming order tends only toward chaos -- the more entropic events, the more complexity seems to arise out of entanglement.

Quote:"What’s really going on is things are becoming more correlated with each other,” Lloyd recalls realizing. “The arrow of time is an arrow of increasing correlations.”
