Main Article: Argument from the second law of thermodynamics

Creationists sometimes claim that evolution contradicts the second law of thermodynamics. This is usually due to a misunderstanding of what the second law actually says, or else due to the false assumption that the Earth is an isolated (closed) system.

There is also a rough thermodynamic argument against the existence of an orderly God that could create the universe.
