“Self-organization vs. entropy

The idea of self-organization challenges an earlier paradigm of ever-decreasing order which was based on a philosophical generalization from the second law of thermodynamics in statistical thermodynamics where entropy is envisioned as a measure of the statistical “disorder” at a microstate level. However, at the microscopic or local level, the two need not be in contradiction: it is possible for a system to reduce its entropy by transferring it to its environment.”

Since when did lack of imagination become a rational argument?

“I just find it impossible to think that chaos at the beginning of time could have somehow found its way into some sense of organization that just naturally progressed over billions and billions of years to what we have now.”

Evolution is a set of testable hypotheses which slowly gains more and more credibility as evidence accumulates. You basically state that the whole notion is beyond your feeble brain, so it can’t possibly be true. Do you understand how the CPU on your computer works? If not, you’d better stop believing in it and shut it off right now!

My point was not a lack of imagination but more a point on the natural state of the universe – chaos does not move toward a state of order.  It’s quite the opposite, in fact – order always moves toward a state of chaos.  So, proposing that the universe originated from a state of chaos is completely irrational and illogical.
