Reply #36: Fatal flaw in your argument...

[Solon]

The second law only applies in a CLOSED system, which the Earth is not. Life would never have evolved on this planet except for one thing, the Sun. Every single organism on this planet, with few exceptions(deep ocean ecosystems) rely on the Sun to provide all their needs for survival. The Sun itself follows the 2nd law, billions of years from now, it will change, billowing into a red giant that consumes the Earth, then throwing off its outer shell of burning hydrogen and helium, leaving a faint white dwarf, or even maybe a neutron star, either of which will fade away themselves over many more billions of years.
