Second Law of Thermodynamics vs. Evolution
According to the second law of thermodynamics, when energy is converted from one form to another, the amount of useful energy decreases. In relation to the theory of evolution, this law is not contradictory. The second law of thermodynamics is not relating to energy within living things because living things retain energy from the sun. The sun produces concentrated energy, which increases entropy. To maintain orderly structures, living things

not decrease among living things but is recycled.
The second law of thermodynamics can portray a contradictory perspective of evolution but the source of energy must be considered. Energy is everywhere and in everything. Living things have mandatory needs in order to live including energy. If the second law of thermodynamics contributed to evolution, life in general could not exist over this amount of time because the energy would decrease constantly until none was left.
