Creation vs. Destruction

Has anyone else ever considered how much easier it is to destroy than it is to create? It's an idea I've been kicking around for a while now but only recently began to develop to any length.

Take a human creation for example. Let's say a vase because it's cliche. Without even meaning too, a person can walk into the pedestal it's sitting on and watch it shatter on the floor. Or any building. It takes an architect hours to draw up the blueprints, the contractors months to build it, and some moron with a can of lighter fluid and a match can seriously damage it if not completely destroy it.

Life is the same way. The human gestation period is roughly nine months. Before you even see light, your mother's been devoting nine months of energy into your existence. Then, take one wrong step or eat some bad meat and you're dead.

You don't even have to do anything if you want to destroy something. Entropy and time will eventually take care of.

Weapons though are an interesting phenomenon though. Creation with the intent of aiding destruction.

So, what does this all mean? Are there are practical uses of this tiny bit of philosophy? I don't know. Maybe as evidence supporting divine creation or intelligent design against random chance. Thoughts? Ideas?

That idea definitely refutes the evolution-as-a-complete-explanation theory of existence, at least as I have heard it before. Simply because damnit, we're full of complex chemistry. How'd that happen by chance.
