To me, it's melting ice sheets, which implies water, which implies life,

Whilst melting ice sheets sort of by definition imply water, your chain
of reasoning tries desperately to run uphill after that - fossils imply
life, and life many well imply water, but implication is not
commutative...


The way the universe really works is this....

The second law of thermodynamics generates
increasing randomness. Increasing randomness
generates self tuning, adaptive...evolving systems.
This holds for material systems and living ones, both
self-organize and coevolve ...spontaneously.

Material systems evolve seamlessly into living ones.

You are wrong. Evolution runs uphill all by itself, from
randomness to ever increasing order. /Increasing/ order
defines the flow of the universe.

If you haven't studied any non-linear math
in the last couple of years you're out of date.
