Does evolution violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics?

No, evolution does not violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics.No life disobeys the Second Law. Zygotes become embryos, embryos become foetuses, foetuses become babies, then children, then adults. All zygote-to-adult growth fails to disobey the Second Law. There is a constant influx of energy into the growing individuals through nutrition. All life carries out nutrition. There is always energy available for growth and reproduction and if there is enough energy for that, then there is enough energy for change/evolution. In this sense, Law-disobeying complexity is not added, from prokaryote to eukaryote or even from bacterium to human. It is simply growth from neonate-form to adult and there is certainly enough energy for that.
