inevitable, but here is an interesting article related to
thermodynamic equilibrium, which came up on csgnet recently,

The
formula, based on established physics, indicates that when a group
of atoms is driven by an external source of energy (like the sun
or chemical fuel) and surrounded by a heat bath (like the ocean or
atmosphere), it will often gradually restructure itself in order
to dissipate increasingly more energy. This could mean that under
certain conditions, matter inexorably acquires the key physical
attribute associated with life.
