BTW, do you believe that the law of entropy applies to the cosmos, or just to the portions of it that favor evolution.

Isn't the 2nd Law supposed to be a Law, not an opinion?

Entropy will do it's thing across the cosmos...on cosmic time scales. While biological evolution is grindingly slow to the human mind, it is blisteringly fast compared to the lives of stars.

It is, and it's being carried out. As the Sun powers interesting things on Earth, entropy grinds the Sun down. The combined *average* is entropy winning.
