In order to have evolution, you need adequate energy sources, as evolution flies in the face of the second law of thermodynamics.

The 2nd law very specifically applies to a closed system. The earth is not a closed system. There is this thing called the Sun. It is the energy source that makes the 2nd law inapplicable in biology.

(Sigh).

Wyatt, did it ever occur to you that living creatures are themselves open systems?

Hint: Murray Gell-Mann pointed this out in person at a seminar I once attended...

Cheers!
