Mind elaborating on how evolution proposes such a thing?

As I told you before, answer my questions first and you will have the answer to yours.

Thermodynamics forbids evolution? I love this one. Makes us physicists laugh out loud every time. You have no idea how far in over your head you are trying to use this as a defense for creationism.

To apply the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics to the system of life on earth in the way creationists try to, you would need to prove that the entropy of the entire earth-sun system is lower than the entropy of the earth-sun system supposedly was several billion years ago. You can't even prove the entropy of a human is lower than an equivalent mass of bacteria! The systems are too complex. Entropy is a difficult enough concept to apply to even simple, self-contained systems - it is a useless concept in the context you're trying to use it in.

Stop telling lies about science. Bearing false witness isn't a very Christian thing to do.

Your questions are based on a misunderstanding of the 2nd law of thermodynamics.

The 2nd law only applies to closed systems. The earth is not a closed system. There is a giant nuclear reactor called the sun outside of the system that pumps more or less an endless supply of new energy into the system.

Your questions were "do you agree?" How can I agree if you won't explain that to which I am agreeing?
