Abstract
This article argues that the second law of thermodynamics, which states that entropy (disorder) tends to increase over time, poses a fundamental challenge to the theory of evolution. The author compares living organisms to engines, emphasizing that both require energy input and eventually wear out, demonstrating the principle of decay rather than evolution. He further argues that mutations, often cited as a mechanism for evolutionary change, are actually degenerative changes that lead to a loss of design and complexity.
