Let me point out that evolution is exactly in harmony with the 2nd law.
Consider the following genomes of ten animals.
1:
AGGTCCGTGGTAATCTCGATCCTAAGCTTGAACGA
2:
AGGTCCGTGGTAATCTCGATCCTAAGCTTGAACGA
3:
AGGTCCGTGGTAATCTCGATCCTAAGCTTGAACGA

Notice that they are ALL the same. This is a highly IMPROBABLE
circumstance. It is like having all the molecules of air in your room
congregate under your table. It is possible but highly improbable. But
during reproduction copying mistakes (mutations) are made in the genomes of
each animal's offspring. Mutation takes each of these animals and moves
them to the more PROBABLE STATE where their genomes are different and where
their DNA creates different animals. Evolution not only obeys the second law
of thermo; it is DRIVEN by it!!!
Those who say that one genome cannot mutate into another genome are the ones
who are violating the 2nd law.
