Physics Has Never Removed Time's Direction
Physics has never suggested time lacks a direction: the CPT theorem combined with experimentally confirmed CP violation (parity violation won Nobel prizes) implies T-symmetry must also be violated, so even the best theory (quantum field theory) contains a directionality of time; entropy-based asymmetries presuppose a time order rather than establishing one.

“you're trying to explain why things typically happen in a certain time order and not in the reverse order and entropy considerations are often important for understanding that... but it that doesn't at all suggest that time doesn't exist”
