And if you're not interested in the physics, and would like a concise lay person's explanation of what the Second Law of Thermodynamics is saying, try this on for size:
"Order" cannot increase, unless energy is spent to accomplish it.
(By analogy, your house cannot become clean, unless somebody does the work.)
The creationist fallacy is to ignore everything after the "unless" in this statement.
As long as there is a source of energy to draw from, any amount of order can be created, even spontaneously. On the surface of the Earth, we have two major energy sources available to us: the sun, and the thermal energy in the core. Without either of these, life surely could not arise here.
