If things tend toward entropy and disorder, why is there anything?

2.97K views

Like why planet? Why sphere? Why is there a solar system? Why system instead of no system? How did entropy create anti-entropy agents? Bees, humans, anything that builds non-random structures?
Sorry if this is a bad question, it just popped into my head and it won’t go away.

There are a lot of people who take this question and answer it by pointing to God.

/u/AAVale likely has the best answer you can get, since in the end its impossible to know how we started with any energy at all. There’s a hypothesis out there called the Big Crunch iirc, which tries to give existence a cyclical framing by saying that the universe will eventually stop expanding and begin to contract, bringing everything together for another Big Bang. But really its all speculation, all stories meant to give some kind of answer to something ultimately unknowable.
