THE SOLUTION. “It is surprising that mixing entropy and biology still fosters confusion. The relevant concepts from physics pertaining to the second law of thermodynamics are at least 100 years old. The confusion can be eradicated if we distinguish thermodynamic entropy from logical entropy, and admit that Earth’s biological system is open to organizing input from outside.” Fabulous summary of entropy issues.
