So that's the evolutionist's explanation of the second law. I've meant to ask but haven't gotten around to posting on these threads lately.

I've already posted that the 2LoT states that the entropy of an isolated system never decreases. It says nothing about "complexity" or anything else of that nature. It does not preclude localized decreases in entropy as long as the overall entropy of the system does not decrease. Indeed, as has been pointed out, it doesn't say that entropy necessarily has to increase, unless work is actually done. A hypothetical isolated system could be in a state of stasis and not violate the 2LoT.
