I wonder if it would be helpful ...
to go back to some basics?
​
Although I understand that there are subatomic particles, for this question I'd like to begin with just the elements.
​
Does Entropy make evolution inevitable?
​
As a starting place, once a sufficient amount of hydrogen existed, do the basic laws of physics make it inevitable that some of the hydrogen would be drawn together until density reached a point where atoms would collide to make helium?

Re: I wonder if it would be helpful ...
I think it will tie together. If I can show that evolution has to happen, that more complex things must occur, then the basis for building life will be supported.
​
What I was considering are the arguments that seem to come up related to the impossibility of evolution. If the basic laws assure that all of the elements MUST get built up over time, then it become inevitable that natural evolution must also happen. It's not about tinkering with the laws but that the laws assure evolution.

Re: I wonder if it would be helpful ...
How it came into being is unimportant, but yes, the laws of physics explain everything from then on.
