Entropy drives the creation of life? It seems like this is the outcome of this line of reasoning. There should be a lot of life out there. And then the reason we haven't seen any, is because of distance and time, and maybe we are early.

EDIT

Perhaps I'm downvoted because the linked article states the opposite, that Entropy doesn't lead to life. Because life is 'ordered'

I had veritasium on the brain. The veritasium video more clearly shows that life as 'ordered', is a very rare configuration of atoms, and thus 'higher' entropy.

And because entropy always increases, and life increases entropy, that maybe entropy leads to life.

Others linked it, here again since it is worth watching because it somewhat either contradicts, or highlights the gaps in the linked submittal. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxL2HoqLbyA)
