I have a PhD in Physics, and Strategerist is way off base in his claim that Sewell misunderstands the Second Law. I notice that St does not respond to calls to put up or shut up regarding that assertion.
I majored in physics for a while and did a fair amount of math. The article summarizes current extrapolation from the original laws of thermodynamics very nicely.
Someone else claimed that without Darwin we would have no modern science. Preposterous. I'm not aware that Darwinism has added anything to the advancement of science, other than limited understanding of intraspecies evolution. But from a practical point of view, Mendel contributed a good deal more.
