I'm wondering if someone can help me with a question concerning evolution and 
entropy.   I am arguing with someone on alt.christnet over whether evolution 
contradicts entropy.   I say that it does not because the internal physical 
order gained by a biological system is outweighed by the external chemical 
disorder it causes when it evolves.  Is this basically correct?   Have there 
been any studies concerning entropy and biological systems?  What have been 
their results/ or where can I find them?
