Can you briefly tell me how? The 2nd law of thermodynamics only applies to closed systems. The Earth is not a closed system- it receives massive inputs of energy from the sun.
So, the evolution of life on this planet doesn't violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

The sun was created after the earth. In that case, you have no such handwringing to aid you. Explain in light of that (no pun intended). Furthermore, the sun offering energy is quite apart from any capacity to make use of it. Simply adding energy to something doesn't make it an open system. Nor does it make that energy useful. And adding energy is destructive if there is nothing that can harness and use it. You're essentially mistating the case in a dishonest manner.

Sorry but .....
What a Crock!!!
BTW, Agnostic Scientist have now also changed the second law to imply it never stated disorder. They had to do that because Evolution violated the 2nd law.
All through nature we see the second law at work, animals becoming less complex ---- man to be specific. Yet, we are to believe everything around us was all by chance? Give me a break!
I'm just going to use one example, just one and it's a very simple one. The Human eye. There are 400 parts to the human eye. All 400 hundred must work in perfect harmony and in sequence or it will not work. Now the chances of that happening are pretty remote but just for argument sake let's see how remote. Using the alphabet, 26 letters, and a bowl, what are the chances of pulling an "A", putting the "A" back in the bowl, then pulling out a "B" so on and so forth? According to my calculator, there are 4.032914611 followed by 26 zero's to one chance in completing that feet.
403,291,461,100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 1
pretty bad odds. If you did a complete sequence once every second, it could take up to
12,788,288,340,000,000,000,000,000,000 years to create the perfect alphabet in sequence.
Are the leading scientist in the world today saying the world is only 14 billion years old????
At any rate, for the human eye to come out perfect just once, the probability is beyond the ability of my calculator to compute but I've been told it's a number with over 100 zero's following it. That's just the human eye, a 1 followed by 100 zero's to 1 chance for it to work just once. And it doesn't have to work once, it has to work twice .... to perpetuate the species.
Evolution vs. Creation, you tell me which one takes greater faith?
