Where do you see that? I see the article incorrectly equating entropy with chaos.

Second Law of Thermodaynamics: In any system, entropy (chaos) is always increasing, and any decrease of entropy (chaos) inside a system requires work (intelligence) to be added to the system.

First of all, the stuff inside the parenthesis isn't part of the second law of thermodynamics. And while work is mentioned specifically, by definition entropy is about heat flow. Which brings me back to my original question, what does heat flow have to do with evolution?

Adding sunlight to a system is the same as adding intelligence?
