Re: Entropy
You've been badly mislead. Thermodynamics doesn't deal with order in the ordinary everyday sense. There's no evidence and no reason to believe that evolution involves any violation of the laws of thermodynamics.
I also have to add that I can't think of a genuine "central premise" of evolution that would fit. The fact that living things usually produce more offspring than needed to maintain the population ? The idea that there can be inheritable traits that influence the chance of successfully produ cing offspring ? How could either of these go against thermodynamics ??

Re: Entropy
Your post is off-topic. However I see no sign of confusion - and absolutely nothing to suggest that evolution violates any of the alws of thermodynamics in the quotes you offer..
