t's not in violation of the laws of the universe. Entropy may be
   true on a macroscope scale but on the small scale (which,
   compared to the Universe in total, can be entire galaxies
   really), self-organizing systems happen.

   Life doesn't violate anything. But does it conform to physical
   laws as we know it? We don't know. But there's no reason to
   suspect that it's not within the realm of physical laws.
