I was wondering if it was possible, via biological thermodynamics, to demonstrate that evolution does not violate the 2nd law of thermodynamics in mathematical terms. From my understanding, the Earth is a closed system (this seemed odd, but I read this in a book on biological thermodynamics. I always figured the Earth was an open system.) I know it gets energy from the sun — is there a way to mathematically demonstrate that this energy is more than enough to account for the evolution occurring on the planet?
