If there is one thing that really bothers me, it is people who misinterpret scientific concepts. The Second Law of Thermodynamics basically states that in a system, things tend to move from order to disorder. This phenomenon is called entropy.
It is fallacious to say that the Second Law of Thermodynamics contradicts evolution because evolution is gaining in order. It is true that as a whole, our universe is cooling down, however, this does not mean that you cannot organize on a micro scale.
Put simply, the Second Law of Thermodynamics does not contradict evolution or reality.
