There are many who would deny the existence of God

I was asking about the theory of evolution, not denying the existence of any deities.

The 2nd law of thermodynamics basically states that as all matter ages, it becomes chaotic,corrupt,unstable and eventually deteriates.

No, the second law of thermodynamics states that the net entropy of a closed system will never decrease.

This is supported by every one who thinks and discerns in their lifetime.

I wasn't aware that the processes of "thinking" and "discerning" supports a bogus claim about thermodynamics.

Evolution states quite the opposite, that is , that all things are mutating into higher life forms and this has never happened in all history nor is it now.

No, evolution states that all life on Earth originated from common ancestry. This is not the opposite of what the actual second law of thermodynamics states, because it is not proposing that the net entropy of any closed systems ever decreased. It might be the opposite of what you claim that the second law of thermodynamics states, but then so does the process of a zygote becoming an adult human being. The problem is with your understanding of the second law of thermodynamics, not with evolution.

Those scientists who study genes have stated that the genes of all living creatures are deteriating each generation

Citation for this claim, please.

Entropy is what it indeed is and the earth under heaven is a closed system wherein this entropy is not decreasing.
