It is all in the symantics of the closed system and entropy arguments. Clearly, if life originates and makes evolutionary progress without organizing input from outside, then something has organized itself. Logical entropy in a closed system has decreased.

It all depends on how you use the word entropy and closed system. this has been a raging debate for years. See "The Mystery of Life's Origin" by Charles B. Thaxton.
