The increase of information required for a life form to evolve could not happen as this increase in information by itself violates Second Law.

Then how do snowflakes occur? They break the Second law...

How do people learn? That breaks the Second Law...

How does a person grow from a sperm and an egg? That breaks the Second Law...

Cross my palm with knowledge, O Great One.

Sparky, the "Second Law" to which you are so eager to appeal, is the "Second Law of Thermodynamics."

It applies to thermodynamic processess, and says absolutely nothing about "information," whatever definition you are using for that term.

So, once again, I repeat the question for the benefit of the lurkers: How much study in Thermodynamics at the collegiate level have you had?
