life exists because the law of increasing entropy drives matter to acquire lifelike physical properties

Jeremy England is an American physicist who uses statistical physics arguments to explain the spontaneous emergence of life, and consequently, the modern synthesis of evolution.[3][4][5] England terms this process "dissipation-driven adaptation".[6]

England has developed a hypothesis of the physics of the origins of life, that he calls 'dissipation-driven adaptation'.[3][5] The hypothesis holds that random groups of molecules can self-organize to more efficiently absorb and dissipate heat from the environment. His hypothesis states that such self-organizing systems are an inherent part of the physical world.[7]

Pulitzer-Prize winning science historian Edward J. Larson said that if England can demonstrate his hypothesis to be true, "he could be the next Darwin."[7]
