Well, spontaneous mutation and natural selection within species is fact. However, the notion that primitive species evolve into more sophisticated species is not fact. In fact, it appears to violate the second law of thermodynamics.
People who are uncomfortable the implications of this, postulate that infinite energy has been added to earth's ecoshere so that evolution is, in fact, possible.
No, the 2nd law of thermodynamics in no way contradicts increasing complexity; this is an argument that even other creationists caution creationists not to use.
Earth is not a closed system and it would not take ‘infinite’ energy to allow for evolution (indeed infinite energy would destroy life) all it takes is a steady stream of energy from something we like to call Mr. Sun.
*sigh* IN A CLOSED SYSTEM!!!!
Locally, entropy can decrease, at the expense of other parts of the system.
Simply put when a tree grows the increase in the order of the atoms that make the tree comes at the energy cost of the decrease in order of the atoms of the sun.
The whole system did lose order.
In what way? Please explain further.

Have you ever stopped to consider why it is that about the only people who cite the second law of thermodynamics as disproof of evolution are creationists?
And why 99.5% of scientists just shake their heads at the silliness of that claim?

As a mechanical engineer with a solid background in thermodynmics, that is absolutely false. The second law allows local increases in order at the expense of global disorder. This is why you can evolve from an embryo to an adult, else by your analysis only stasis would be possible.
