::{{Cquote|I tend not to use entropy arguments at all for biological systems. I have yet to see the calculations involving either heat transfer or Boltzmann microstates involved for natural selection. Until creationists can do that, they should refrain from claiming that organic evolution contradicts the Second Law; a trite appeal to “things become more disordered according to the Second Law” is inadequate.|||Jonathan Sarfati, in the cited work}}

The main argument against[[evolution]] using the second law of thermodynamics is that [[evolution]] requires a decrease in entropy (disorder). However, the second law of thermodynamics states that entropy increases, so the two are contradictory. Evolutionists and other scientists claim that these resources misrepresent the Second Law of Thermodynamics, negating the fact the [[earth]] is not an isolated system (energy is added from the [[sun]] for example). They also claim that they disregard the statistical nature of the law, in that entropy can decrease, but is so unlikely that no one ever sees this and it can be assumed to never happen.
