JN,
>>Key parts of evolution concept (no matter what particular variation) is:

that things advance from lower, less complex forms,
to higher, more complex forms,
by chance, with absolutely no intervention of outside intelligence.>>

that's not true. every one of those statements. to prove this my ststment all i need is to give one contrexample to each.
(i) [side comment: evolution can occur not only to things, this sould teach you not to get too general talking about specifics, as you are likely to make illogical/wrong statements] consider evolution of human dress in the last couple of hundred years - dresses were more complex in the begining, less complex now.
(ii) define "chance", what may look like "chance" to you may be a law of nature to me.
(iii)intervention of outside intelligence is usualy present in evolution of engineered products - quite obvious.

>>This is in conflict with the 2nd law of thermodynamics.>>
State how you understand 2nd law of termodynamics, as i (who is quite familiar with it) fail to see its relevance in the situation under discussion.
