1. Wrong! The spread of energy leads to the inevitable depletion of the energy and hence breakdown and degridation.
LISTEN CAREFULLY - Depletion of energy (spreading out) is ONE thing DEGRADATION is quite another. The 2nd law is not a predictor of disorder or degradation or "messiness" - The second law states that energy tends not to be restricted to one or a few energy levels in atoms and molecules, but to be dispersed to as many such levels as possible – rephrased in homely terms involving molecules, "Intense or concentrated energy tends to spread out and diffuse". THAT IS ALL IT IS SAYING. An atom can lose energy and BECOME MORE STRUCTURALLY COMPLEX (Thereby destroying your information theory argument)
observe:
The simplest organic compounds, called alkanes and composed only of carbon and hydrogen, contain portions or sections with one carbon atom holding two or three hydrogen atoms. Spectroscopic evidence for these characteristic alkane sections has been found throughout space. Alkanes with two to five carbon atoms joined to one another (and hydrogens attached to each carbon) are all lesser in energy than their elements. Therefore, the second law says irrefutably that they could be formed spontaneously from carbon and hydrogen with the net evolution of energy. Their structural pattern is not vastly complex but it is far more so than that of individual elements.
