It's clear you two either can't correctly state the Second Law, or you two are deliberately misstating it to concoct straw men.

The Second Law of Thermodynamics applies to "closed systems". Living forms are capable of reducing entropy within them simply because they are "open systems" and can thus export entropy to their environment. No circularity, no magic.
