Don't even start the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics crap with me. I'm a mechanical engineer who has made a lifelong study of what the 2nd law says, and does not say, and there isn't one lickspittle worth of truth in the idea that the 2nd law precludes evolution. Indeed, it encourages local evolution!. While the universe may as a whole be dying entropically, local systems are free to do as they please only limited by energy sources and sinks.

That would be "dieing".

What energy source created greater complexity and order among living organisms?

So you are saying your engineering research has led you to believe nature can take a lack of information, and order things together giving the appearance of intelligence?

The most sophisticated thing I have seen nature create is crystalline structures, and they don't evidence an increase in information like self-replicating, self-healing, error correcting life does.

Must have been a pretty strange world before the Fall. Without the second law of thermodynamics "past" and "future" don't make any sense because time's arrow points in "both" directions. But I guess the YEC's have figured this out already ;^)
