Wither entropy?

The argument for evolution versus entropy is rather academic. If evolution meant getting better and more efficient, then it would defeat entropy. But evolution doesn't. We have evolved into being rather lazy, mainly through no real predators, (other than each other.) A few thousand years ago, I would have had bulging biceps and a six pack rather than a bulging belly and the whole barrel.

To pit entropy against evolution is the same as wondering how a quantum event can produce a seemingly non quantum physical universe. Apples & pears if you ask me.

(Mind you, I didn't get away with that in my PhD thesis... I recall being pushed on comparison, even though my subject was oscillation of otherwise inert media....)
