The article calculates that the entropy flux required for *at the very least* the evolutionary rate we see is more than provided (by an order of 10^10) by the Sun.
This provides enough entropy, and self-organization and bootstrapping of nonequilibrium systems provides the rest.

Science. It just works.
I'll take that as a vote for lucky pond scum.
Which presumably is also the category into which you put yourself and other human beings.
Not good for the self-esteem. But then, self-esteem is itself an absurd concept in an uncreated, morally and intellectually dark, universe.
Another one of those absurd burps of mindless evolution.

That's a lot of organization from an uncaused Bang.
And you're proposing a lot of organization from an uncaused God.
A least with the science we hold the possibility of predicting what comes next.
Yes, I am. A perfectly reasonable and rational position.
OK, you tell me from science "what comes next".
And I'll tell you from the Bible.
We'll see who wins.
