Entropy is a measure of disorder in a system, first postulated by Lazare Carnot in 1803.
Creationist scientist Henry Morris argues that the law of Entropy, also known as the Second Law of Thermodynamics, disproves evolution: "...the Second law, however, that wipes out the theory of evolution. There is a universal process of change, and it is a directional change, but it is not an upward change."[1]
This argument however mis-uses the second law which only applies to closed systems. As the Earth is not a closed system but derives it's energy from the Sun Morris' argument cannot be taken seriously.
