Ever read any Greene? The second law of thermodynamics only says that in a closed system, entropy will increase over time. It says nothing about the state of the system at any given instant. And it certainly doesn't say that in pursuit of that level of entropy, the system can't belch here and there and give rise to mutations that may or may not be capable of rational action and reproduction.
I've rarely seen a less impressive 'argument' for the fallacy of 'intelligent design'. Whenever someone is afraid of the dark, they immediately start to 'anthropomorphize' the shadows, and see 'reasons' and 'choices' and 'intent' in things that require none of these chracteristics...unless you're afraid of the dark, and just HAVE to have an answer as to 'why' you're afraid of it...
