"Evolution is no myth"

The common definition of "myth";

"A usually traditional story of ostensibly historical events that serves to unfold part of the world view of a people or explain a practice, belief, or natural phenomenon."

The shoe fits nicely.

"And entropy is not its foe."

Has the Second law of thermodynamics been revised?

Okay, fine. Explain how the second law of thermodynamics stands at odds with the theory of evolution.

Lousy definition. It misses completely the essential aspect of a myth - that it's untrue or at best highly exaggerated.

Not significantly, no. Thre wasn't a conflict between it and evolution when Clausius formulated it, and there still isn't.
