"Explain how the second law of thermodynamics stands at odds with the theory of evolution."

Physics proposes a picture of the cosmos "running down" toward an eventual state of entropy, whereas evolution as looked at "globally," represents a "current moving in the opposite direction from entropy.

Er, except that "globally" is not "cosmically". The local entropy of the earth can decrease and there is no violation of the second law so long as the overall entropy of the cosmos continues to increase. Evolution does not propose that the overall entropy of the cosmos decreases, so there's no conflict.

Nonsense. Evolution, looked at globally, is driven by the flow of energy from the sun, a heat source at 10000 K (on the surface), into the ambient universe at 2 K. The rate of entropy increase in that process is at least 20 orders of magnitude greater than the rate of entropy decrease due to evolution, which is probably unmeasurably small.
