It's often claimed that evolution violates the second law of
thermodynamics, thus an intelligence had to be involved. Of course,
being intelligent doesn't give you the ability to violate the laws of
physics, including the second law of thermodynamics.

However, being intelligent usually means you can figure out how
evolution does not violate the Second Law.

You see, there's a rather large and fairly stable fusion power generator
not far from the Earth (it's about eight light-minutes away; it's not
hard to pick out in the sky). Believe it or not, this fusion generator
has been supplying living things on Earth with enough energy to increase
the orderliness of their own environments (albeit at the expense of
increasing disorder elsewhere) since about the time the Earth was
formed.

No kidding. Is it in some way related to the glowing orb I see in the
sky sometimes? You know, the one named "Sol"...

Cool! You get a gold star!

"Fairly stable" is a relative term.

It's stable enough...
