The theory of evolution is claimed to be opposed by the second law of thermodynamics.
However, this is a misconception: the second law (entropy of a closed system tends to increase) does not forbid local decreases in entropy when energy is supplied. Earth is an open system receiving energy from the Sun, so biological order can increase without violating the second law.
